Boost in the pursuit of Aston Villa captain Ron Vlaar
Both the Gunners and Man United will be pleased to learn that the chances of signing the centre-back have been given a significant boost in recent times.
Vlaar has cast doubt over his future at Villa Park with the Netherlands international in the final year of his current deal at the Birmingham club.
“These are troubled times at Villa. The manager has said he won’t let me leave during the season but I don’t know what will happen if clubs come in for me,” the 29-year-old was quoted by the Daily Express.
