Source: Arsenal want Leipzig's Upamecano

Arsenal are targeting the signing of RB Leipzig centre-back Dayot Upamecano, a source close to the Premier League club has told ESPN FC.

While there has been no official bid for the 20-year-old Frenchman—a member of the Bundesliga's meanest defence last season—the German side have been made aware of the Gunners' interest.

Leipzig are in the midst of attempting to renew the former Valenciennes player's existing contract beyond 2021 but might consider a sale in case Upamecano pushes for a move.

Arsenal's failure to qualify for the Champions League after losing the Europa League final 4-1 to Chelsea on Wednesday night could hamper their pursuit of Upamecano.

Without the funds from UEFA's most lucrative competition, meeting Leipzig's asking price will likely prove too difficult for Unai Emery's side.

In addition, a source in Germany has indicated Upamecano, whose Leipzig team have qualified for the Champions League as the third-placed team behind champions Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, would be less inclined to push through a move if Arsenal were in the Europa League next season.

After all these links to top young CBs I'll be fuming if we end up with nobody or a cheap crap 28 year old.

Think they want like €80m for him lol

Beast on FM, same level as De Ligt, best 2 young defenders in the game, never seen him in real life.

Just watching him against Dortmund now on BT Sport 3 and hes playing really badly, constantly trying to dribble out of defence.

MIRROR- Unai Emery has increased efforts to solve Arsenal's defensive problems, by sending scouts on Monday to watch Dayot Upamecano. Emery feels Upamecano could be a cheaper alternative to Barcelona's Samuel Umtiti who wants to stay at Barca.

i want this guy more then umiti because he has shady knees i heard and upamacano is a beast. but i dont think we will get him tbh given the price. I just hope we act quickly and dont mess up this transfer window is the biggest in the clubs history with a limited budget we need to find some gems

He looks good to be fair, quick, strong doesn't look too bad with the ball at his feet either.

Agent Douzi doing the preparatory groundwork.

GF Biochemicals, co-owned by Mathieu Flamini, to donate the €100m required to trigger Upamecano's release clause.
