Arsenal have reportedly maintained their interest in signing Manchester United defender Eric Bailly.

The Ivory Coast international is out of favour at Old Trafford, and the centre-back is likely to be made available for transfer at the end of the season.

Arsenal have previously been linked with an approach for the 25-year-old, but it has recently been suggested that the Gunners will be restricted when it comes to signing new players this summer.

However, according to The Sun, Unai Emery is still keen to explore the possibility of adding Bailly to his backline for the new campaign.

Bailly currently has just over a year remaining on his contract at Old Trafford, and United may be open to doing business with one of their rivals given their own need to strengthen in defence.
