Arsenal plan January transfer move for Basle defender Fabian Schar
Arsenal are planning to bolster their backline when the transfer window reopens with the addition of Basle centre back Fabian Schar.
The Gunners won their fourth consecutive Premier League game with a 3-1 victory over Stoke on Sunday, but manager Arsene Wenger remains concerned about the depth of his first-team squad.
With plenty of money to burn, Wenger is already drawing up his wish-list for January and 21-year-old Schar has emerged as a top defensive target.
The Gunners have been impressed with the Basle stars performances over the past 12 months and are ready to test the water in the new year.
Schar has an excellent goal-scoring record for a defender, scoring five times in 10 games this season, and has already won three caps for Switzerland.
Italian champions Juventus are also thought to be keen, however, and could rival Arsenal with a January bid.
