"Reports have appeared in the media of England and Portugal stating that London's Arsenal club is interested in signing a contract with Porto's defender.

According to the reports, Arsene Wenger intends to make an offer for Eliaquim Mangala this summer, who is valued at a very high sum.

The 22-year-old footballer is also being eyed by several other Premier League clubs, including Man City and Man Utd, but the Frenchman could cost English clubs 38.5 million euros.

It is reported that the "Gunners" are willing to offer this amount, as they seek to strengthen not only the defensive position but also the attack during the summer.

E. Mangala has been playing for Porto since 2011. During this period, the player has appeared on the field 53 times and scored eight goals."
