According to Football Insider, Arsenal are very interested in Unai Nunez and have already sent scouts several times to gather information on the player.
Arsenal also believe that they've been given a transfer boost as Nunez has fallen out of favour and is currently a back-up for more experienced defenders.
However, there are 2 slight problems. Firstly, Everton are also reportedly keeping tabs on the centre-back and are desperate to improve their appalling defence.
Second, Bilbao are somewhat known for refusing to sell players as they can only use Basque players and force other clubs to pay their release fee.
The 22-year-old signed a new contract this summer and currently, his release fee stands at €30 million, according to insideathletic.com.
The Athletic Bilbao centre-back is highly-rated and has been compared to Aymeric Laporte who also rose through the ranks at the Basque club.
Do you think we need another young centre-back? We already have Saliba and Holding isn't particularly old.
