Arsenal are eyeing Bristol City left-back Lloyd Kelly.

The Sun says the Gunners have regularly checked out the England Under-21 star whose other Premier League admirers include Liverpool.

Kelly is a major reason his home-town club finished as high as eighth in the Championship this term.

Now the 6ft 3in defender, 20, is tipped for a summer switch to the top-flight.

Arsenal have been beset by defensive woes this term, with Germany central defender Shkodran Mustafi persistently slated by fans and pundits.
