Denzel Dumfries should be a target for Liverpool and Arsenal this summer
Liverpool need a new right-back and generally look like needing changes all over the pitch after a hugely disappointing season, so if they can get someone like Dumfries in on the cheap that would be smart business which also allows them a decent amount of budget left to spend on strengthening other positions.
Arsenal, meanwhile, should also be all over this transfer opportunity, with the injured Ben White likely to need replacing soon.

As good as the 28-year-old has been for the Gunners this season, he’s proven rather injury prone in the last couple of years and that leaves Mikel Arteta without any real substitute to Jurrien Timber.
Timber himself is also injured at the moment after playing a lot of football, so someone like Dumfries coming in as a rotation option seems like a must for Arsenal, and not one that would cost them a fortune.

Squad need
Dumfries really ticks a lot of boxes for his form, overall experience, price, and squad need for Arsenal, even if he loses points for being a bit on the old side, having recently turned 30.
He’d likely get the same score for Liverpool given their issues at right-back, so this is surely one of the best bargains on the market this summer.
