Arsenal want star who could become the fastest player in the Premier League if he signs: report

Arsenal are looking to make a rapid addition to their squad in the final few days of the transfer window.

By and large, it’s been a successful summer for the Gunners, with four quality players signing. The one fly in the ointment is that Dutchman Jurrien Timber looks to be out for months following an anterior cruciate ligament injury sustained in the opening game of the Premier League season.

Mikel Arteta could well dip into the market to replace him, however, with Arsenal now showing interest in a replacement. With impressive recovery pace, there is scope to sign one of the fastest players in the division before the window’s up.

Danish outlet Tipsbladet say that the north Londoners are pursuing a move for Benfica full-back Alexander Bah to inject a little more physicality into the backline.
