Arsenal Boss Unai Emery Eyes January Move for Atletico Madrid Star Filipe Luis

Arsenal are said to be interested in signing former Chelsea defender Filipe Luis in January, ahead of his contract with Atletico Madrid ending next summer.

According to Kick Off, Gunners boss Unai Emery is interested in the 33-year-old in order to add further cover to his full back position, having found his side relatively short-changed there so far this season after injury to Sead Kolasinac.

Brazilian international Luis was linked with a move away from Atletico this summer, after Paris Saint-Germain showed significant interest in the player.

However, despite outlining a lucrative contract with Luis, the French side were unwilling to meet the high price demands of Atletico and instead turned to signing Bayern Munich's Juan Bernat.
