Unai Emery has told Arsenal’s hierarchy that he will not make a move for Brighton defender Lewis Dunk, according to reports.
The 26-year-old was one of the standout performers for Brighton last season as Chris Hughton’s side avoided relegation from the Premier League.
Dunk was also tipped to win a surprise call-up to England’s World Cup squad but he missed out on a place in Gareth Southgate’s side.
According to the Daily Mirror, Arsene Wenger was monitoring Dunk’s progress and was considering a bid for the central defender this summer. But Emery has no plans to follow up with Wenger’s interest and won’t be bringing Dunk to Arsenal this summer.
