Arsenal 'to trigger £34m release clause' for star who was in 'advanced talks'
Arsenal will reportedly be chasing Jeremie Frimpong's signature in the summer. The Bayer Leverkusen right wing-back has been in outstanding form this season for Xabi Alonso's side and is at the top of Mikel Arteta's shortlist when it comes to full-backs.
First and foremost, Arteta is in the market for a new striker and central midfielder but he is also on the lookout for a full-back as well. It was initially thought Arsenal would look to buy a player in all three positions this month but the latter looks more likely to come through the door in June now.
Frimpong has a modest £34million release clause in his contract which will become active in the summer. Arsenal are aware of this and are said to be keen on bringing him in on the cheap.
Frimpong recently put pen to paper on a new long-term deal with Bayer after advanced talks with Manchester United broke down last summer. In May, reports from Germany claimed Frimpong was far along in his discussions with United.
