Arsenal target Moscow defender nicknamed "The Elephant"

According to today's Sun, Arsenal are tracking Torpedo Moscow defender Vyacheslav Dmitriev who is nicknamed "The Elephant".

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is apparently lining up Vyacheslav to fill in for Kolo Toure who is currently playing for Ivory Coast at the African Nations.

Vyacheslav, 17, has apparently caught the eye of Wenger with his performances for Torpedo in recent months. He is nicknamed The Elephant because he is big, strong and deceptively quick.
