Arsene Wenger is looking to bring in defensive reinforcements this summer, and has identified the Bayern man as a potential target

According to the Daily Star, Arsenal are expected to make a summer move for Bayern Munich centre-back Mehdi Benatia.

After his lack of playing time this season, the France-born Morocco international revealed he would be seeking an exit from the Allianz Arena this summer.

His position has been put in further jeopardy with Bayern's reported interest in Borussia Dortmund defender Mats Hummels this past week, meaning a move away is looking increasingly likely for Benatia.

Juventus, Inter and his former club Roma are also linked with a move for the 29-year-old.
