Arsenal is interested in signing Swansea City central defender Ashley Williams for £8 million this summer according to an exclusive in The Guardian by reporter Daniel Taylor.

Taylor’s exclusive contains zero sources listed, no quotes (not even anonymous ones) and no evidence that Arsenal is even serious about Williams. However, the former Stockport County footballer has been rumored to be a target of other clubs including Liverpool and Manchester United.

What do you think? Can you see Williams doing a better job in the back for Arsenal than Thomas Vermaelen?
