Arsenal keen on Montpellier defender

Spahic has impressed in recent seasons and is the captain of the Bosnia national team.

The 30-year-old can be used both as a centre-back and as a left-back.

Spahic’s contract with Montpellier is set to expire in 2004.

Arsenal boss Wenger could make a move for Spahic if he fails to sign Werder Bremen star Per Mertesacker, according to News of the World.
