Manchester City are joining the battle for RB Leipzig defender Dayot Upamecano.
The Mirror says City are weighing up a bid for Upamecano who is also a target for Arsenal.
The Premier League champions are struggling in defence having lost Aymeric Laporte until the New Year.
Pep Guardiola's cover has not impressed with John Stones and Nicolas Otamendi both making errors which could push him into the transfer market.
The Catalan has said he won't buy in January, but should injuries force his hand he wants to sign players who can benefit the club beyond his tenure.
That is why Upamecano, who is only 21-years-old, and Benfica's Rben Dias have been highlighted as potential signings.
Arsenal as well as north London rivals Tottenham tracked the youngster, but it now looks as if City can jump to the front of the queue.
