Arsenal have been offered the chance to sign Napoli right-back Kevin Malcuit as cover for Hector Bellerin.
Bellerin has been ruled out for between six and nine months after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury against Chelsea.
Arsenal started Ainsley Maitland-Niles at right-back in their FA Cup defeat to Manchester United but the 21-year-old prefers to play as a winger or a central-midfielder.
The Gunners also have Stephan Lichtsteiner and Carl Jenkinson at their disposal, but may look to bring in an alternative.
Malcuit joined Napoli from Lille last summer and has made 12 appearances for the Italian club.
The 27-year-old's current contract at Napoli runs until the summer of 2022, but he could be allowed to depart in the final days of the transfer window.
Arsenal, who are in fifth place in the Premier League, host Cardiff on Tuesday.

Why sign cover for Bellerin? Sign better, not cover!! If this player is better, sign him, if not don't. The youth in the club should provide cover as part of a good development structure with the view to their being better than what currently exists in first eleven. If the youth academy isn't producing ballers who can take the shirt of the existing first eleven, Arsenal should then shut down their academies as they're a current waste, and waste plays too much of a role at Arsenal FC at present, and is no part of Football period!!

do really arsenal have dreams of winning UCL really because they didn't buy quality player worth 80 m they only buy cheap players but what they need to keep in mind is that if you want to win you have to spend
But when Man City were spending you guys were criticising. Hypocrites

ππππππππππππππ, please. Good luck with that. Napoli is not that stupid as to let one of their most instrumental player go right in the crucial period of their season. With so many matches coming up...0% chance of this move happening

I really fail to understand why arsenal fail to bring players? This so called kroenke is he really normal in his head? Things are not okay but he can't buy players. The best thing to do is to stop watching or buying tickets for arsenal games so that kroenke and his family can be watching the embarrassing arsenal team .we are tired of his stupid ideas. I don't think if the coach will stay? A winning coach can't stay with such type of management.
kronke kroenke is currently building a 2B$ stadium for the LA rams so boycotting games is the only way arsenal fans can make him feel the pressure

Stop following Arsenal please. Washing your time and passion following a club that has no desire and money to buy players. Too many rumours and predictions and yet no action. Typically NATO No Action Talk Only club.

Arsenal should go for him. Tgey can't be using Lichsteiner as RB and although Maitland-niles is good, he's not totally experienced to make their his own permanently

Centreback!!! when we say defender, we mainly mean Centreback, not wingbacks!
