Report: Arsenal chasing Getafe defender Djene

Getafe centre-back Djene Dakonam has reportedly been added to Arsenal boss Unai Emery's list of summer transfer targets.

The Gunners are looking to strengthen at the back ahead of the Spaniard's second campaign at the Emirates Stadium.

According to Spanish outlet Marca, Djene has emerged as a possible option for Arsenal thanks to his impressive La Liga campaign with top-four chasers Getafe.

Djene, used from the off in 32 of the Madrid club's 35 league matches, is rumoured to have a £30m release clause in his contract.

However, Arsenal may be priced out of a move for the Togo international unless they qualify for the Champions League, with Emery's transfer budget dependent on whether his side finish in the Premier League's top four or win the Europa League.
