da bet7： As reported by The Daily Mirror, Arsenal are interested in signing Ajax’s impressive teenage defender Matthijs de Ligt this summer.
What’s the story?
da brwin： The Gunners are all set to have a big squad overhaul this summer with supporters left desperately disappointed with yet another lacklustre season.
One player that could make the switch to the Emirates Stadium is Ajax starlet Matthijs de Ligt, who has emerged as one of the most exciting defensive prospects in Europe.
That’s according to The Mirror, who report that Gunners scouts were there to see him action for the Netherlands against England last week.
Rated at £22.5m by Transfermarkt, can Arsenal land a young defender that can help improve their defensive options in the short and long-term?

Who is he?
Although he made his debut for Ajax last season and featured prominently in their run to the UEFA Europa League final, this term is the teenager’s first full season as a regular in the Dutch side’s starting eleven.
Helping his side in their challenge for the Eredivisie title, he’s contributed to ten clean sheets this season and show impressive consistent form for a player so young.
He’s developing well for the Netherlands too, with five caps to his name including two starts in the recent international break against England and Portugal, contributing two assists vs the latter.
All signs point to him being a player with enormous potential and if Arsenal can invest in his future early it could pay off massively for years to come.
