Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has identified RB Leipzig’s Ibrahima Konate as one of the top central defensive targets ahead of this summer’s transfer window, Standard Sport reports.
The north London side have experienced another poor Premier League campaign, and they are eight points off the Champions League places with 12 matches left in the season.
Five teams are between them and the fourth spot, and their best chance of qualifying for the elite competition may rest on winning the Europa League.
In a press conference yesterday, Arteta said that the club are already planning for the summer, and it is now reported that they are monitoring Konate with a view to a move.
