In some ways, Arsenal’s team appears to be nearing the end of a cycle, with some players on the fringes of the group expected to depart.
TBR recently reported that Arsenal has informed both Oleksandr Zinchenko and Kieran Tierney that they are free to depart, since both players are superfluous to Arteta’s intentions.
Arsenal intend to sign a new left-back to challenge Takehiro Tomiyasu, who finished the season in that position.
And TBR Football understands that Arsenal are now considering a move for highly-rated Stade Brestois full-back Bradley Locko
Brest signed the 22-year-old from Stade Reims last summer, a move that was a huge success.
Locko was named in Ligue 1’s Team of the Season following his 33 appearances, and seems ready for the next step.
Arsenal are pondering a deal for Bradley Locko after failing to sign Jorrel Hato.
Arsenal had been interested in 18-year-old Ajax star Jorrel Hato since the club was looking for a new left-sided defender.
However, the adolescent is not ready to leave his boyhood club just yet, so plans have been put on hold.
Instead, Arsenal have Locko on their radar, who was a stand-out performer in France last year.
Locko is capped for France’s under-23s, but is yet to make an appearance for Didier Deschamps’ senior side.
Stade Brest only paid a minimal fee to sign Locko from Reims last summer, but it remains to be seen how much they would demand for the coveted full-back now.
