Arsenal target Ghana defender Daniel Opare

Published on: 21 February 2012

Arsenal are showing an interest in Standard Liege defender Daniel Opare as Arsene Wenger plots a £50million summer spending spree.

The pressure is mounting on Wenger as they look destined to finish another season empty handed on the trophy front, while a top four finish is by no means certain.

It now looks as though the Gunners board will go against usual transfer policy and break the bank to give Wenger the best possible chance of competing for titles once again.

Ghana international right-back Opare is now reported to be a target after the 21-year-old impressed for Standard this season and move could be on the cards in the summer.

The 21-year-old was part of Ghana's African Nations Cup squad but did not play.

Opare was first brought to Europe by Real Madrid before moving on to Standard.

He is comfortable as right-back and right winger but can play as a make-shift left-back.
