Arsenal are actively searching for a new left-footed centre-back, turning their attention to PSG's Willian Pacho as a potential challenger to Gabriel Magalhaes.
In light of William Saliba's injury, the Gunners recently brought in Ezri Konsa, who already debuted in the starting lineup against Chelsea, impressing in tandem with Magalhaes at the back.
Manager Mikel Arteta is determined to bolster his defensive line. Over the past year, the club has also added Pierluigi Incapri and Christian Mosquera to strengthen the squad.
According to Caught Offside, Arsenal scouts have been closely monitoring Pacho during his recent performance in PSG's 2-2 draw with Lille, compiling a detailed report on the Ecuadorian defender.
Currently, the centre of defence features two left-footed players—Gabriel Magalhaes and Incapri—so Pacho could bring valuable competition for a starting position.
However, this transfer is not without challenges. For starters, Manchester City are also keeping an eye on the defender.
Moreover, Pacho has become a key player for the Parisians, having played the full 90 minutes in every match this season.
Additionally, the Ecuadorian recently signed a long-term contract with PSG, which runs until 2031.
Even if the French club decides to let their standout player go, a hefty fee is likely to be required to secure the deal.
