Arsenal to make 13 mln-pound bid for Man U defender Chris Smalling

Arsenal will reportedly make a shocking 13 million-pound bid for Manchester united defender Chris Smalling this summer.

With the club boss Arsene Wenger keen on Smalling since his days at Fulham, Arsenal now are of the opinion that United would be prepared to sell their England centreback, who can also play at right-back.

Smalling had been recently pictured on a night out at 3am, when he had been out of action through injury, and it upset United boss David Moyes, the Daily Star reported.

The defender also reportedly posed himself as a suicide bomber at a fance dress part, which also did not go down well at Old Trafford.

A return to London may now be on the cards for Smalling, who had been signed for 11 million-pounds by previous United boss Sir Alex Ferguson, as Moyes wants a new central defender for his squad this summer, the report added.
