Arsenal are ready to reignite their interest in Switzerland international centre-half Fabian Schar according to Bild, translated to English by talkSPORT.
The Gunners are facing a crisis at the back ahead of this weekend’s Premier League opener with Liverpool, with Per Mertesacker, Gabriel Paulista and Laurent Koscielny all injured or unavailable.
The North London club are believed to have been busy searching for a new addition in the transfer market, but as yet the only defensive recruit has been young starlet Rob Holding.
Schar has recently moved to Bundesliga side Hoffenheim but was linked with a move to Arsenal in his time with former club Basel.
The Swiss enforcer featured for his country at Euro 2016 and could well be available for the right price according to the report.
As it stands, Arsene Wenger may well have to field a central defensive pairing of Calum Chambers and Nacho Monreal come Sunday’s clash with Liverpool.
