Few days ago, Manchester United officially announced signing Victor Lindelof from Benfica for £30 million. The defender is set to thrive at the Theatre of Dreams. His arrival will push the England international down the pecking order.
Acording to The Telegraph, Jose Mourinho is willing to sell the player for around £15 million. The 27-year-old arrived from Fulham for £10 million in 2010, and he succeeded under Louis Van Gaal, winning the United's players' player of the year.
Arsenal are looking to improve their defence, especially if Arsene Wenger is planning to stick with his 3-4-3. Everton and West Ham are also interested in the center back, but Arsenal seem closer, for they showed interest in the player before his move to Old Traford in 2010, then in 2014 when Van Gaal was open to selling the player.
The deal seems complicated, because of the history of the two managers, although it looks like they resolved their issues. Moreover, the club prefers not to sell their players to rival teams, that fight for the the title. But Smalling looks persistant on his exit, so he hired a new agent this week, although he declared once that he'll fight for his place under Jose Mourinho, when the latter criticized him in front of the media.
