According to the Daily Express, Arsenal have made the move due to the advancing years of Laurent Koscielny (31) and Per Mertesacker (32).
Manolas has failed to agree a new contract with Roma, and it has been widely reported that they are now willing to cash in on the highly-rated defender.
Chelsea were also reportedly keen on securing the player’s signature, as were Inter, but the latest reports indicate that the move to Arsenal is most likely to go ahead.
