Arsenal have confirmed that William Saliba faces an extended period out of action, and as such it\u2019s no surprise that intermediaries are now offering them players.<\/strong><\/p>\n

One interesting name I\u2019ve heard about is Sporting Lisbon centre-back Zeno Debast, who is well known to scouts of top Premier League clubs.<\/p>\n

For now, there have not been any formal talks and it\u2019s not even clear if Arsenal are going to pursue a deal, but sources with ties to the agents industry have informed me that the Gunners have been offered Debast via intermediaries.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old is understood to be available for around \u20ac40m, so that could be a good low-cost option for Arsenal to consider.<\/p>\n

For now, it seems we\u2019re at an early stage in all this. Arsenal have only just got conclusive information on Saliba, so we\u2019re unlikely to see anything advancing on a new defensive signing straight away.<\/p>\n

However, one source suggested Arsenal have looked at Debast before and that they have not said no after being informed that they could be invited to make a move for the player.<\/p>\n

Manchester United also have a long-standing interest in the Belgium international, though it doesn\u2019t currently seem like he\u2019s going to be one of their top targets in this transfer window.<\/p>\n

It will be interesting to see if Arsenal decide to go ahead with this, but it seems like a possibility that can\u2019t be ruled out, especially as other targets look so expensive.<\/p>\n

Arsenal were priced out of a move for Morgan Rogers, and there are no regrets there \u2013 I\u2019m told they were not prepared to go ahead with a \u00a3117m fee like Chelsea were as it simply didn\u2019t represent value for money.<\/p>\n

The Premier League champions are also\u00a0unlikely to pursue a move for Ezri Konsa\u00a0as they value him at around \u00a335m, while Aston Villa view him as being closer to a \u00a360m player.<\/p>\n

AFC don\u2019t want to spend crazy money this summer and will insist on sticking to their policy of strengthening their squad in a sustainable way.<\/p>\n

Unless other alternatives emerge, that could start to make Debast look like one of the most tempting options out there right now. It\u2019s early days, but keep your eyes peeled on this one.<\/p>\n
