Shakhtar Donetsk defender Mykola Matviyenko is interesting Arsenal.

The Daily Mail says Matviyenko is on Arsenal's radar as Mikel Arteta searches for defensive reinforcements.

The Gunners could move for the Shakhtar Donetsk player after missing out on Lisandro Martinez to Manchester United.

The 26-year-old, who is predominantly a centre-back but is capable of covering on the left too, is thought to be available for around £12m.

However, the North Londoners are likely to face competition from Ajax, who will be after a replacement for Martinez, once he completes his move to Old Trafford.
