It’s claimed by L’Equipe that Arsenal are targeting Barcelona’s Umtiti, who has been made available by the LaLiga champions.


The 25-year-old is said to be valued at £53million in Spain, with Unai Emery and football director Raul Sanllehi (formerly of Barca) interested in the idea.


Umtiti left Lyon for the Camp Nou in a £21million move back in 2016, and has since established himself as a key player at the club.


He signed a new five-year deal in June 2018, but suffered a knee injury which hampered his season.

As a result, a centre-back duo of Gerard Pique and Clement Lenglet has become Ernesto Valverde’s first choice, with Umtiti struggling to break back in after returning from his absence.


Koscielny meanwhile has been linked with potential transfers to Milan, Monaco and Rennes with all three clubs reported to have shown interest.
