Arsenal, Barcelona eyeing Benfica fullback Alejandro Grimaldo

Arsenal are interested in Benfica fullback Alejandro Grimaldo.

Record says Arsenal could battle it out with Barcelona for the signing of Benfica ace Grimaldo.

And the likes of Chelsea and Juventus are also monitoring his situation.

The 27-year-old left-back has been linked with a January move.

The Gunners signed Oleksandr Zinchenko in the summer, but the Ukrainian has suffered injury problems and can also play in midfield.

Meanwhile, Kieran Tierney has slipped down the pecking order, with Takehiro Tomiyasu now seemingly preferred on his weaker side to the Scotsman.

Grimaldo has played 292 times for Benfica since signing from Barcelona in 2015.
