Arsenal could be about to make a swoop for the Barcelona left back Maxwell according to reports in the Italian media today.
Maxwell hails from Brazil and has been at the Nou Camp since July 2009, signing from Inter Milan on a five year contract, and has also spent time in Holland with Ajax, and was the Dutch footballer of the year in 2004.
Arsenal has expressed an interest and is in need of players in almost every position, but after the latest injury to Bacary Sagna on Sunday Arsene Wenger is desperately short of experienced defenders.
The reports coming from Italy suggest that the Gunners have upped their interest to an extent they could now make a move as soon as January, as it is common knowledge that Maxwell is free to go should the Catalan club receive a decent price.
Arsenal recently signed another Brazilian in Andre Santos, but in his brief appearances so far it would appear his game is more suited to a more advanced attacking role, and with Kieran Gibbs struggling for form Maxwell could be just the man that Arsene Wenger is looking for.
