North London side have turned their attentions to Benfica centre-back Ruben Dias -- again. Arsenal reportedly considered a move for the Portugal international at the start of this window, but abandoned the idea because of cost.

The Portugal international has a buyout clause of £54 million, and with a reported transfer budget of a measly £40m, it's hard to see the math adding up to a deal in the Gunners' favour. But try they will, as the report suggests they will attempt to negotiate a lower initial fee with further add-ons.
