Arsenal consider Greek centre-back Kostas Manolas to fill void left by departure of Thomas Vermaelen Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is readying an £8m bid to land 28-year-old Newcastle United midfielder Cheick Tiote.
We were interested in Tiote before but the Geordie's thought the was worth £20-million. His career hasn't exactly taken off in recent years. Dunno much about Manolas but I will take just about any experienced defender at this point. We need cover. Would honestly prefer an EPL player, though.
Manolas has been left out of Olympiakos' squad for their friendly tomorrow. Arsenal are not the only suitors.
One report says Arsenal & Olympiacos have found an agreement of €11 million for Kostas Manolas, he will be earning around €1.5 million a year.
