Torino defender Angelo Ogbonna has re-emerged as a potential transfer target for the Gunners this summer, according to sources in Italy.

Arsene Wenger is believed to be looking for reinforcements to strengthen his backline for the upcoming season and 23-year-old Ogbonna, who is best utilized as a centre-back but can also play in the left-back slot, appears to have popped up on the Frenchman’s radar once again.

The Italian Under-21 international, who last month received his first call-up to the senior squad, was first linked with the Emirates outfit almost two years ago and would reportedly command a fee of around £14 million this summer.

To be honest, I wasn’t aware that we had been linked with Ogbonna in the past (slate me if you wish) then again, with all the names linked with our club during a transfer window it’s hard to keep track at times.

There is not much info on the player, only that he stands at 6’2’’, is a centre-back by trade and an Italian of Nigerian descent.

If there are any Serie A/B or Super Eagles fans reading this, please feel free to let the rest of us know whether Ogbonna is over or undervalued at £14 million. Although, I can kind of guess what the majority would say.
