Thus far, there has been no significant transfer links to a specific left back, but Dean Jones believes Arsenal has a transfer opportunity for a left back that they should not ignore.
According to the transfer insider, Arsenal could sign AS Roma’s Leonardo Spinazolla. He claims the Italian is available for a move away after being given limited game time, and given that his contract expires in the summer, he could be available for less than £4 million. If Arsenal goes for him, they may not face stiff competition for his signature, as main transfer rivals Aston Villa have dropped out of the race to sign the 30-year-old.
Jones told GIVEMESPORT: “The thing with Spinazzola is that he is actually available in this window. If this is the route that Arsenal want to go down, in terms of signing somebody, this has real potential.”
Though some of us will have concerns about his age of 30, but that is not very old for a defender and I believe Spinazolla might be a fantastic deal if closed. In my recollections of the Euro 20, I recall how influential he was for Italy before sustaining that career-threatening injury. I’d be more comfortable with him as Zinchenko’s backup than Jakub Kiwior.
His signing could free up Tomiyasu, allowing him to play only right back or central defence.
This sounds like a good idea to me. What do you think?

Am not sure of what Spinazolla can do that the young Polish won’t be able to, with more involvement Kiwior can be just as effective if not more.
30 years old and has had 2 major injuries in the past along with questions over his general fitness. There’s a reason he’d only cost 4 mill. Could put his injuries behind him and become a good player again, but the risk highly outweighs the reward. Edu and Arteta would get slaughtered if it went through.
No we don’t need him, Thimber will soon be back to compete with zinch
