Arsenal 'eye swoop for RB Leipzig defender'

Arsenal are reportedly considering an approach for RB Leipzig defender Lukas Klostermann.

The 23-year-old, who represented Germany at this summer's Under-21 European Championships, has made 126 appearances for Leipzig in all competitions.

According to Diario AS, Arsenal are interested in a swoop for the right-back ahead of the 2019-20 campaign.

The report has also mentioned Atletico Madrid as possible suitors, but Leipzig are said to be unwilling to sell the two-time Germany international due to his importance to the team.

The Gunners only reportedly have around £45m to spend on new signings this summer, making it difficult for the English giants to secure a number of their targets.

Indeed, it has been alleged that the club's limited funds will make it almost impossible to complete a deal for Crystal Palace attacker Wilfried Zaha ahead of the 2019-20 campaign.
