Arsenal in advanced Atletico Madrid talks for Javier Manquillo

Arsenal are finalising terms with Atletico Madrid over a loan deal for Javier Manquillo.

The Daily Star says it's understood that the teams are yet to agree on the inclusion of a permanent move options within the loan agreement.

The Gunners have a gaping void in the right back position after Bacary Sagna moved to Premier League rivals Manchester City on a free which Mathieu Debuchy would be expected to fill.

The Atletico defender has failed to dislodge Juanfran in the Spanish champions' starting line up and was tipped to join Marseille before Arsenal made their interest known.
