Arsenal the clear favourites to sign Man United star – report

Arsenal are the favourites to sign Daley Blind from Manchester United this summer, according to bookmakers skyBET.

The Gunners are thought to be on the lookout for a host of new players this summer as Arsene Wenger bids to revamp his squad ahead of next season.

Arsenal have already signed Granit Xhaka to bolster their midfield options and have signalled their intentions to further strengthen with a bid for Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy.

There have been suggestions that new Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho is prepared to offload a number of players this summer, including Netherlands international Blind.

Now, the bookmakers have made Arsenal the 3/1 favourites to sign Blind before the close of the summer transfer window.

Barcelona are 4/1 to sign the player, while Ajax are priced at 6/1 to re-sign the Netherlands international this summer.
