Arsenal have already let Ainsley Maitland-Niles leave the club on loan during this window, and with reports that Atletico Madrid are interested in signing Cedric Soares on a similar deal, the club would need to bring in another player in that position.

Step forward Colin Dagba, a 23-year-old right-back currently at PSG.

According to Footmercato, Dagba is on the lookout for a new club due to a lack of minutes with PSG.

So far this season, Dagba has played just 97 league minutes for PSG with a further 134 coming in the Coupe de France.

He is now apparently, “in search of a good club with a solid project” but is more likely to move in the summer than during January.

Dagba is a product of the PSG youth system but is represented by super agent, Pini Zahavi, whom Arsenal have so far managed to keep a good distance from the club.

Currently valued at around £7m, Dagba is out of contract in 2024.
