Dayot Upemacano is one of the players that has continued to be linked with a move to Arsenal.
The Frenchman has remained a key player for RB Leipzig and his continuous fine showings for them has made him a player that a few top European sides want to sign.
Before Mikel Arteta became their manager, Arsenal’s biggest problem was their defence and the Spaniard has overseen an improvement in that area.
They signed Gabriel Magalhaes in the last transfer window after failing to land Upamecano and he was expected to be partnered at the back with William Saliba.
But Saliba has been unable to break into the Arsenal first team, leaving the likes of David Luiz with opportunities to still play for the team.
Luiz will be out of a contract after this campaign and the Brazilian should be replaced which keeps Upamecano as a target for the Gunners.
Former Sheffield United striker turned pundit, Jan Aage Fjortoft, claims that the Frenchman is expected to leave at the end of this season.
Re: Upamecano
Will leave RB Leipzig next summer.
Bayern interested, but have to wait on Alaba.
Liverpool, Man UTD and Man City following him closely— Jan Aage Fjortoft 🏳️🌈 🇳🇴 (@JanAageFjortoft) November 22, 2020
We need another midfielder on a similar level as Partey, not another CB. A midfielder to control tempo and manage a game is far more important than another defender no matter how good he is.
We have enough defenders and Arteta has certainly improved our defence. The main focus should now be on a creative midfielder, we need to create and score goals. Go for Szoboszlai or Aouar asap.
