Domagoj Vida a surprise deadline day target for Arsenal | OneFootball

Reports linking Arsenal with a deadline day move for defender Domagoj Vida are gathering momentum.

The 29-year-old started six of seven games during Croatia’s run to this summer’s World Cup final.

Arsenal allowed Calum Chambers to join Fulham on a season-long loan on Tuesday, opening the door for a defensive signing before Thursday’s deadline.

According to the Evening Standard, the Gunners have been told to pay a €30m fee for the Croatian. Other sources, however, suggest he would be available for closer to €20m.

Turkish journalist İlke Cancanoğlu goes a step further than saying Arsenal are interested, claiming a medical is already scheduled for tomorrow and a fee between €18m and €25m is most realistic.

This is certainly becoming a story to look out for on deadline day.
