Arsenal continue pressing for Aaron Hickey as Serie A club identify replacement

Arsenal are continuing to press for Bolognaโ€™s Aaron Hickey, with the Rossoblu looking internally to replace the Scotsman.

La Gazzetta dello Sport have reported about Arsenalโ€™s interest in Hickey, claiming that Mitchell Dijks is seen as the man to replace Hickey at left-back from next season onwards. He played 16 Serie A games last season and he racked up two assists for the club.

Arsenal, meanwhile, are said to be ready to offer โ‚ฌ25 million to Bologna for the ex-Hearts and Celtic youngster, with the Gunners pressing โ€˜stronglyโ€™ for the left-back. A farewell for the defender is said to be very much on the cards this summer. It has been reported previously that Arsenalโ€™s move for Hickey is very close.

Dijksโ€™ time at Bologna seemed to have come to an end back in January, when Sinisa Mihajlovic had publicly questioned his attitude but he returned strongly and became a prominent feature of the side at the end of the campaign. He is now expected to stay at the club.
