Arsenal are eyeing a move for&nbsp;RB Leipzig&nbsp;defender&nbsp;Dayot Upamecano as they battle&nbsp;the clock in their bid to bolster their defensive options ahead of the new season. Contact has been made with the&nbsp;Bundesliga&nbsp;club, but Leipzig value the Frenchman at around £70m ($85m) - a price that would make a deal extremely difficult for Arsenal, given the budget they are working to this summer. The north London club are open to allowing Shkodran Mustafi to leave to raise further funds this summer, but the German centre-back has made it&nbsp;clear he wants to stay at the Emirates. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/arsenal-eye-70m-rb-leipzig-star-upamecano-as-they-step-up-centre-/1r3itznldokjr1f5ultkwbfxjf">Read the full story right here on Goal!</a>

Philippe Coutinho would be “a very exciting signing” for&nbsp;Arsenal, admits Martin Keown, but a deal for the&nbsp;Barcelona&nbsp;playmaker is considered to be “far-fetched”.
