Arsenal may be presented with the opportunity to land their long-term target, Samuel Umtiti on loan as Barcelona are set to release him to any suitor in this summer transfer window.
The Gunners were linked with the World Cup winner in previous transfer markets but he failed to switch away from the Spanish giants until now that he has gone down the pecking order behind Gerard Pique, Clement Lenglet, and Ronald Araujo.
However, he is highly needed in the Mikel Arteta team at the Emirates Stadium with the opportunity now presenting itself for free. This remains an advantage to the Gunners because they could get Samuel Umtiti for a much cheaper fee, starting from a loan deal.

Meanwhile, Mikel Arteta hopes to begin a rebuild of the Arsenal team but he says it will not happen by magic but with the help of quality players in the team.
