At this point it now appears Arsenal are keen to sign a centre-back before the transfer window closes soon probably on Thursday.
Because after being linked with a bid for Dayot Upamecano, The Guardian suggest Unai Emery has made an enquiry about bringing Juventus defender Daniele Rugani to the Emirates.
So the Italy international's position in the so called team could be under threat following the arrival of Matthijs de Ligt, although new coach Maurizio Sarri is a big admirer of Rugani and tried to sign the 25-year-old while he was at Chelsea.
Remember that Gunners had initially asked about a loan deal but have been quoted a £50m fee to buy the centre-back, which could be outside of their transfer budget following the £72m arrival of Nicolas Pepe from Lille.
