Arsenal are hoping to go back in for RB Leipzig defender Dayot Upamecano.

The centre-back is their main defensive target for the next two transfer windows.

German reports suggest that his club want a fee close to what Manchester United paid for Harry Maguire.

But according to L'Equipe, he will have a buyout clause in his contract of 53 million that becomes active next summer.

It would allow the Gunners to get him for a similar fee they are believed to have offered Leipzig in the past summer window.

Upamecano has been recovering from a knee injury this season, which has limited his game time.
