Arsenal news and rumour roundup: Reus considering Gunners switch, Barcelona duo targeted and Wenger to be given £20m January budget

There is also interest in Ipswich Town starlet Tyrone Mings

With the fact Wenger only has six first team defenders available in his squad increasingly becoming a concern, alternatives at the back are being scouted.

This has led the North Londoners to Championship ace Mings, with scout Pat Holland watching the 21-year-old during Ipswich’s 1-0 victory over Watford on Saturday, according to the Mirror.

The right-back cost just £10,000 less than two years ago, but is now thought to fetch somewhere in the region of £10m.
