Arsenal 'preparing £12m summer bid for Chris Smalling'

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger reportedly renews his interest in Manchester United's Chris Smalling.

Arsenal are reportedly planning to table a £12m bid for Manchester United defender Chris Smalling this summer.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has renewed his interest in the centre-back amid reports that the Red Devils are undecided about whether to offer him a new contract, according to The Telegraph.

Smalling has 12 months remaining on his current deal, while United boss Louis van Gaal is reportedly keen to recruit another centre-back in the summer.

The former Fulham man could be frozen out at Old Trafford if Van Gaal lands long-term transfer target Mats Hummels of Borussia Dortmund.

Arsenal missed out on Smalling's signature in 2010 when he joined United from Fulham in a £10m deal.
