Arsenal's defensive plans could be reshaped after confirmation that William Saliba is facing a significant spell on the sidelines, according to EPL Index.
The Gunners have reportedly been offered the chance to sign Anderlecht's Zeno Debast, with the Belgian defender valued at around €40m. The 21-year-old has been on the radar of several clubs following impressive performances for both club and country, and Saliba's injury is said to have accelerated Arsenal's interest in strengthening their backline.
Mikel Arteta has relied heavily on his settled central defensive partnership, but the setback to Saliba means alternatives are now being explored in earnest. Debast, capped internationally by Belgium, is seen as a versatile option who could adapt quickly to Premier League demands.
Nothing is confirmed at this stage, and Arsenal will likely weigh up whether to move for Debast now or assess Saliba's recovery timeline before committing funds. EPL Index suggests the situation is one to watch closely as the transfer window develops.
