Arsenal have emerged as rumoured suitors for Manchester United defender Matteo Darmian at the end of the season.

The Italy international is edging closer to the end of his third year at Old Trafford, but the 28-year-old full-back has made just 81 appearances for the Red Devils in all competitions.

Having featured on just 12 occasions this term, the versatile full-back will allegedly move on at the end of the season and the Serie A champions Juventus are said to be keen on the 28-year-old Italian.

However, according to Goal as quoted by Daily Star, the Gunners are also keeping a close eye on Darmian as a potential replacement for Hector Bellerin, who is expected to leave the Emirates Stadium this summer.

The report suggested that the 20-time English champions are keen on Bellerin, which could potentially lead to a part-exchange deal this summer.
