Arsenal are pressing to sign Ajax defender Lisandro Martinez in a £30million deal.
Initial talks have already taken place with Arsenal willing to offer around £25m for the Argentina international, however, Ajax have dismissed that figure and want more with the knowledge they have other clubs willing to bid.
The 24-year-old can play as a centre-back, left back and centre midfield.
According to reports in The Athletic, Arsenal believe Martinez can offer competition to established left-sided centre-back Gabriel Magalhaes while also providing cover for Kieran Tierney at left back.
