According to ESPN, Arsenal along with Chelsea and Everton are interested in the Gabriel Magalhaes. The Brazilian is a left-footed, physically strong player with an aggressive style of play and at the same time is very good with the ball at his feet.
While the Blues were the first side to open talks with Lille being optimistic over a move, Everton have emerged as favourites in the race for the 22-year-old as they've tabled a £30m.
The Ligue 1 side are refusing to hold talks with any suitor if they make a smaller offer.
As for Arsenal, the report says the north Londoners are weighing up a bid for the in-demand centre-back.
It's also mentioned that the Gunners consider a move for 22-year-old Ligue 1 Axel Disasi as an alternative, who has enjoyed a wonderful season at Reims, who sit fifth in the domestic league, and is valued at around £20m.
