Arsenal are eyeing a move for RB Leipzig defender Dayot Upamecano as they battle the clock in their bid to bolster their defensive options ahead of the new season.
The Gunners are in the market to bring in a centre-back before Thursday’s 17.00 BST transfer deadline having agreed a fee with Bordeaux for Laurent Koscielny.
The 34-year-old is in France to undergo a medical ahead of a €5 million (£4.6m/$5.6m) move to the Ligue 1 club - with a deal expected to go through within the next 24 hours.
