Athletic Bilbao’s Aymeric Laporte targeted as cheaper alternative to Mats Hummels
The Gunners are desperate to sign a new centre-back in the January transfer window as options for manager Arsene Wenger are being made increasingly limited due to injuries.
Borussia Dortmund captain Hummels had been targeted, but the Germany international has been deemed too expensive according to the Daily Star and Laporte is being lined up instead.
The 20-year-old has been building a great reputation for himself with Bilbao and is considered to be one of the best young players in Europe.
