Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta wants to add another left-back centre-back to his squad and Evan Ndicka from Eintracht Frankfurt has emerged as a transfer option for the Gunners.
Ndicka is out of contract at the end of the season with the Bundesliga club and Frankfurt are trying to get him to sign a new deal before the end of the campaign.
If they fail to pull that off, the Evening Standard reports that the German club could be tempted to sell the defender in January to avoid losing him for free next summer and that could tempt Arsenal to make a move.
The 23-year-old’s situation is being monitored by a number of clubs, the report states, with Juventus among the teams interested in the centre-back.

Arteta wants to sign a left-footed centre-back in one of the next two transfer windows, as Gabriel is currently his only outright option at that position. Pablo Mari is on loan at Monza this season and he is expected to leave for good next summer.
Arsenal targeted Lisandro Martinez last summer before he joined Manchester United, the Evening Standard reports, which could have paved the way for Ndicka to secure a move to the Emirates.
