Ajax's van der Wiel attracting interest from Arsenal

Arsenal are reportedly tracking the progress of Ajax youngster Gregory van der Wiel.

The 21-year old right-back has recently broken into the Dutch national team and has sparked interest from not only Arsenal, but other European clubs including Atletico Madrid and Barcelona.

Ajax was recently a happy hunting ground for Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger who signed Belgian defender Thomas Vermaelen who has been a hit at the Emirates this season.

van der Wiel has been rated at around £7million by the Dutch club and Wenger is continuing to keep an eye on him.
