The Gunners are ready to challenge Manchester United for the signature of the Germany World Cup winner Mats Hummels. United boss Louis van Gaal has been making all the running for Borussia Dortmund defender Hummels and, despite insistences from his club that he is going nowhere, there is a belief that the player may be available for £30million. And it is understood that the Londoners will not allow the Old Trafford giants interest in the 25-year-old to go unchallenged. Wenger still has serious money to spend this summer and is prepared to make at least two more major signings after the captures of Alexis Sanchez, keeper David Ospina and full-backs Calum Chambers and Mathieu Debuchy. He wants to sign a world-class central defender if Vermaelen leaves and is aware that Hummels could become available. Arsenal would be able to give Hummels the attraction of Champions League football this season – and they could yet beat United in the race to sign him.
