Arsenal ‘join Man Utd and Chelsea in race for Denzel Dumfries transfer’ after Takehiro Tomiyasu blunder vs Man City


ARSENAL have reportedly joined Manchester United AND Chelsea in the race to sign Denzel Dumfries from cash-strapped Italian giants Inter Milan.

United and Chelsea have previously held interest in the Dutchman, 26, who is a regular starter at the San Siro.

During his near two-year spell at Inter, Dumfries has played 71 times, helping them win the Italian Super Cup twice and the Coppa Italia.

Dumfries is also a regular in the Dutch national set-up, and is known to Red Devils boss Ten Hag, who would have managed teams against the right-back when he was playing his trade at PSV.

But according to Fichajes, Arsenal have joined Man Utd and Chelsea in registering their interest in acquiring Dumfries’ services.

Inter need to make around £53million from player sales this summer due to their dire financial situation.

And Dumfires could command a high fee, easing Inter’s financial fears.

Mikel Arteta has been deploying centre-back Ben White at right-back this season, with Gabriel and William Saliba forming a solid partnership in the heart of the defence.

Takehiro Tomiyasu is also being deployed there.

However, the Japan star’s horrendous blunder in Wednesday’s 3-1 home defeat to Manchester City has brought him into question.

But Dumfries is a natural right-back, with far superior attacking capabilities.

While at Old Trafford, Ten Hag is switching between Diogo Dalot and a resurgent Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
