Arsenal targets a right-back upgrade, eyeing Roma’s Wesley Franca. The Gunners show "significant" interest as the 22-year-old outperforms current right-back Jurrien Timber in goals this season. Timber scored three goals after a strong start, while Franca nets four in Serie A, often playing as a wing-back. Arsenal’s search intensifies as they consider selling Ben White, who has started just five Premier League matches this season. Multiple candidates are on the radar, including Tino Livramento and Nnamdi Collins. Franca’s athleticism and offensive prowess make him a standout option. He’s also attracting attention from Everton, Manchester City, Tottenham, Newcastle, and Real Madrid. If signed, Franca would add depth at right-back, left-back, and even in advanced roles, bolstering Arsenal's versatile defensive lineup. Arsenal aims to secure his signature amid growing competition ahead of the summer transfer window.
