Arsenal eye £26m double defender deal
Arsene Wenger wants to bolster his defence for next season by signing both Phil Jagielka and Emilio Izaguirre, according to sources close to the club.
The Gunners defensive frailties were all too apparent during Saturday’s Emirates Cup clash with Boca Juniors, when they squandered a two-goal lead to draw 2-2.
Wenger has come in for criticism from some Arsenal fans in recent years for failing to spend big in the transfer market, but he is now planning to splash the cash on two defenders – Everton’s Jagielka and Celtic’s Izaguirre.

Arsenal break off transfer talks for teenage Croatian star
Arsenal have broken off negotiations over the proposed transfer of Mateo Kovačić, after baulking at Dinamo Zagreb’s asking price for the midfielder.
The Gunners are long-term admirers of the exciting teenage playmaker, and have followed his development since the age of 13, when he rejected a number of Italian and German clubs in favour of a move to Zagreb.
He has since been watched a handful of times by Arsenal’s chief scout Steve Rowley, including on his first-team debut against Hrvatski Dragovoljac last season.
