Arsenal have made enquiries over the signing of Bologna full-back Aaron Hickey this summer, according to reports.

Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli initially reported (via Viola News) that Napoli and Arsenal are interested in Aaron Hickey of Bologna. Arsenal have already asked about the player, with the Serie A side setting a price tag of €20m.

Football.London have since confirmed that Arsenal are monitoring Hickey ahead of the summer transfer window, and they’re interested in signing the versatile defender.

Hickey is primarily left-footed and a left-back, but he’s one of the most ambidextrous players around at the moment and can easily play on the right as well.

The Scottish international uses his “weak” foot 39% of the time, which is more than any current Arsenal player.

Takehiro Tomiyasu is the only player who comes close, at 32%, and even Santi Cazorla only uses his left 32% of the time.

Bologna have used Hickey on the right at times this season, so he has some experience on both flanks.

Given Arsenal’s issues with full-back injuries this season, Hickey could be a smart investment. Kieran Tierney and Tomiyasu have both spent extended periods on the sidelines, which has hurt Arsenal on a few occasions.

At 19 years old, Hickey is another player Arsenal could potentially rely on for the long term as well.
