Arsenal are shopping for a new centre-half ahead of the winter market.

The Mirror says their scouting work will centre on Germany and the market in the Bundesliga which is seen as relatively untapped with new recruitment chief Sven Mislintat knowing the market from his time at Borussia Dortmund.

They want a new centre half in January and will look for another in the summer with Mainz's Abdou Diallo and Wolfsburg's Ohis Felix Uduokhai among the names being scouted.

They have also looked at West Brom's Jonny Evans.

They still want Monaco's Thomas Lemar and Lyon's Nabil Fekir could be a replacement if Mesut Ozil decides to snub a new deal and leave in the summer.
