Arsenal want Toro defender N'Koulou

By Football Italia staff

Arsenal manager Unai Emery has set his sights on Torino defender Nicolas N’Koulou, according to reports in Italy.

The Gunners are struggling with a leaky defence in the Premier League and Calciomercato.it claim Emery specifically named N’Koulou as his ideal reinforcement.

Torino spent €4m to sign the 28-year-old Cameroon international from Olympique Lyonnais, on an initial loan with option to buy that was activated this term.

He is considered a key figure in the Granata’s push for Europa League qualification and Coach Walter Mazzarri is not eager to see N’Koulou sold mid-season.

The former Monaco and Marseille man has scored two goals in 19 Serie A games during the current campaign.
