Italian club AC Milan are plotting a move for Arsenal target Eric Bailly in the January transfer window, according to a report on ESPN.
The Ivory Coast international is seemingly unsettled at Manchester United and has lost his place in the team after some poor performances earlier in the season.
United signed Bailly for £30m from Spanish club Villareal in the summer of 2016 but he hasn’t developed as the club thought he would.
The defender has had his fair share of injury problems since moving to Old Trafford but the Gunners are said to be monitoring his situation.
The could face competition from AC Milan, who are also said to be keen on signing the centre-back.
Arsenal boss Unai Emery knows that he needs to strengthen his side defensively and if the right offer is made, then United could be tempted to allow him to leave.
Bailly was substituted after just 19 minutes against Newcastle United last month and has not played since, with Mourinho seemingly freezing him out of the team.
