Arsenal in pole position to secure signature of No.5 versatile defender
Arsenal are reportedly leading their Premier League rivals in the race to land David Bates from 2. Bundesliga outfit Hamburg, according to the Daily Mirror, as cited by the Daily Record.
The north London giants are said to be at the front of a queue of top-flight English sides in their pursuit of Bates, who has been in stunning form in the early stages of the 2. Bundesliga season.
After talks over a fresh deal at Rangers reached an impasse, David opted to depart Ibrox to complete a free transfer to the German club in the summer as a result of their relegation from the Bundesliga.
His influence at the German side has been clear to see, though. In eight league matches for his side, he has helped the team keep a total of six clean sheets.
This level of performance from David appears to have piqued the interest of other Premier League teams.
Everton are understood to be similarly interested in recruiting the Scotland U21 star, whilst Watford, Southampton and Leicester City have also reportedly sent scouts to observe his displays.
