Arsenal decide they no longer want to sign ‘really good’ defender

Arsenal have been linked with a number of potential new signings heading into the summer.

Midfield options and new striker🙈s have been the talk of the window, but the Gunners are also said to be keen on a new defender.

Indeed, Riccardo Calafiori continues to be linked with a move to Arsenal, while Nottingham Forest’s Murillo is a player the north London c🌌luಌb have been said to be keen on.

Speaking on the , Dean Jones has shared some insight into Arsenal’s interest in Murillo, and he says that Arsenal are no longꩵer interested in the Forest star.

Arsenal no longer interested in Murillo

Jones shared what he knows about the defender.

“Yeah the pricetag is too high, but they may as w🍬ell price him at that if it’s Chelsea thatꦓ are interested,” Jones said.

“Arsenal did have an interest in Murillo last year, maybe even in Janua♏ry, but they have moved on from that so they will not be competing for Murillo anymore, but a really good player, so that will be interesting.”

Murillo will get a move

Murillo may not be on the move to Arsenal this summer, but the likelihood is that he w♏ill be 𝓀on the move somewhere.

The Braz🌠ilian enjoyed a fantastic debut season for Nottingham Forest, and, as Jones says, som🐼e big clubs have had their eyes on the centre-back.

Of course, Murillo won’t be cheap, Forest are looking to receive around for their star defender, and that is a lot of money for a defender who has had just one season in the Premier League for a team 🃏that shipped goals for fun last term.

Whether or not Murillo gets a move this summer remains to ꦓbe seen, but, by the soꩵunds of it, the 22-year-old’s next step won’t be to join Arsenal this summer.
