Arsenal could be set to bolster their defensive ranks with a move for promising Freiburg star Caglar Soyuncu.
The Daily Mail has reported that the centre-back, who has drawn admiring glances from many of Europe's top clubs, may be the Gunners' first summer acquisition as head of recruitment Sven Mislintat looks to get his feet firmly under the table at the Emirates.
Soyuncu, a Turkish international, has been followed by the likes of Manchester United, Liverpool and Roma in recent times, but Arsenal may make the first move in any battle for his signature.
Freiburg are reluctant to sell their prized asset but a fee in excess of £30m could sway the Bundesliga club into selling him on for almost 15 times the value that they originally paid for him.
