Arsenal can still trump Reading for Zambia defender Stoppila Sunzu.
The Daily Star says the Gunners are back on alert after it emerged that Reading target Sunzu could be a free agent.
The Zambia centre-back, 23, agreed terms and passed a medical at Reading before the start of the African Nations Cup.
He says his contract, with Congo side TP Mazembe, ran out in December but the club want £4million for him.
