Arsenal target Wolves star Willy Boly as club look for transfer to improve defence

WILLY BOLY is on Arsenal’s radar after his impressive form at Wolves.
Unai Emery is looking at defensive options despite adding David Luiz just before the transfer deadline.
And Boly, 28, has impressed during his three seasons at Molineux when he helped the club get into the Premier League.
Wolves would get a decent profit on the £10million they paid Porto and could double their money — but will try to keep the Ivory Coast defender.
Boly scored a dramatic late winner in Wolves' 1-0 smash-and-grab win at Besiktas on Thursday and Nuno Espirito Santo's side face champions Manchester City in the Premier League today.
Arsenal have well-documented problems at centre-back and have conceded 11 goals in all competitions this season.
The North London club are still reeling from losing reliable defender Laurent Koscielny in acrimonious circumstances over the summer and landed erratic Luiz from Chelsea.

Luiz, 32, fell out with Blues boss Frank Lampard before he left West London for their rivals up Holloway Road and the Brazilian is not seen as a long-term solution.
Sokratis is also 31 and is not getting any younger, while Calum Chambers finally appears ready to step up with a regular berth in the Arsenal team at the age of 24.
Emery faces a decision over whether to play Saed Kolasinac or Kieran Tierney at left back against Bournemouth today after the Scotland star, 22, played well in their 4-0 win over Standard Liege.
