Arsenal approach Bayern defender

 

Arsenal have offered Bayern Munich defender Rafinha a three-year deal, according to Sports Bild, via Goal.com.

 

Rafinha, 30, still has a further year remaining on his current deal at the Allianz Arena but will reportedly be allowed to leave in the summer as the Bavarian giants eye a new right-back in the summer.

 

Arsenal failed to sign a single outfield player last summer but they are expected to be more active at the end of the season with some players thought to be close to leaving the club.

 

Rafinha, who can play across the back four and in midfield, has never really nailed down a first team place at Bayern but has still started 17 matches in the league this season.

Only teammate David Alaba (93.1%) has a better pass success rate than Rafinha (92.7%) in the Bundesliga this season.
