Arsenal consider Konaté to strengthen their defence

Ibrahima Konaté continues to court suitors in England. The young French defender from RB Leipzig is said to have entered Arsenal's agenda in the last few hours.

The 'Sun' reports that the player is one of the Gunners' main targets to strengthen the centre of its defence.

Konaté was already rumoured last spring to be an alternative to Dayot Upamecano at Manchester United, but finally he stayed for another season with the German team, with which he has a contract until June 2023. 

The former Sochaux player has played five official matches and has scored one goal so far this year. Since his arrival in the 2017-18 season, he has played 79 matches.
