LIGA - Arsenal closely monitoring Athletic Bilbao's defender

Arsenal are among clubs keen on Dani Vivian, according to Fichajes. The Athletic Bilbao star has garnered plenty of interest in the market because of his performances in La Liga.

Mikel Arteta’s side are included in the long list of potential buyers who are following his progress closely, with the centre-half reportedly having a €40 million exit clause in his contract that expires in June 2023.

He has emerged as a breakthrough star for Los Leones this season, since returning from his productive loan spell at CD Mirandes this summer. In these early parts of the season, the 22-year-old star has already featured in seven La Liga games, building an eye-catching partnership with the Spain international Inigo Martinez that has seen the team concede only four goals in eight games.

In fact, Athletic Bilbao have lost the only match Vivian didn’t play this term, which is enough to indicate the importance of Dani in this team.
