Malaga wing-back Jesus Gamez is under consideration at Arsenal. The Daily Mail says Arsenal want to sign a new right-back as defensive cover for Bacary Sagna, who could be used as a makeshift centre back in the absence of injured Thomas Vermaelen during the opening weeks of the season.

And Malaga want to explore using Gamez, 28, as part of the deal to land Gunners outcast Nicklas Bendtner.
