Marcos Rojo:
It was The Daily Mail who broke the news that the 24-year-old Argentine is being chased by Arsenal in the summer but has also been watched by Liverpool, Manchester United and Manchester City scouts regularly in Portugal. Rojo’s biggest asset is his versatility as he can play either at centre-back, like he does for his club Sporting Lisbon or as left back, as in his national colours with Argentina.
He has been an integral part of Sporting’s rise to second in the Portuguese league and with Premier League clubs looking interested to land him in the summer, it will be increasingly hard to fend off interests and big money offers from affluent consortia’s if bids are indeed tabled. It is believed that Rafa Benitez is keen on landing Arsenal’s Thomas Vermaelen to Napoli in the summer, hence Arsene Wenger wants a long term replacement in the summer.
