Arsenal eyeing Lille defender Gabriel as Luiz replacement

Arsenal are eyeing Lille defender Gabriel.

The Gunners see Gabriel as a replacement for David Luiz.

Le 10 Sport says the Gunners have been in contact with Gabriel's entourage for some time and could launch an official bid in the coming weeks.

Mikel Arteta could enter the market to replace David Luiz, who Arsenal are reportedly ready to wave goodbye to when his contract expires at the end of the month.

Certain to arrive is French youngster William Saliba but a big-name bid has been talked about, potentially involving Dayot Upamecano or Samuel Umtiti.
