​Arsenal leading AC Milan for RB Leipzig defender Upamecano

Arsenal are at the head of the queue to sign promising defender Dayot Upamecano from RB Leipzig.

The French defender has excelled in the Bundesliga and was linked with a summer move to the Gunners.

They opted to let him develop for another year before making their move.

Calciomercatosays Arsenal will move for the 20-year-old in the coming summer transfer window.

AC Milan are also interested, but would find it hard to match Arsenal's offer from a financial perspective.

Upamecano would be the Gunners' main summer target, as they hope to improve the centre of their defence.
