Roma defender Kostas Manolas admits he'd be keen to hear from Arsenal.

Roma centre-back Manolas and Gunners new boy Sokratis Papastathopoulos are two of Greece's biggest stars.

Sokratis, 29, completed a £17.7m (€20m) move from Borussia Dortmund to Arsenal this week and when asked about playing alongside him at a 'big team', Manolas replied: “You never know!"

Despite signing Papastathopoulos, Arsenal remain on the hunt for another central defender.

Reports in Italy last month suggested Chelsea have held talks with Roma over a deal but Manolas insists he is happy at Roma.

“I am very pleased," he told Sport24. “I did a very good year, but I personally do not even deal with the transcripts.

“I have signed a very good contract, I am very happy in Rome and my wife and my children are loved by the world. And it is very important that the world loves me."
