Arsenal have reportedly completed the 'legwork' of a deal to land Eintracht Frankfurt centre-back Evan Ndicka ahead of Tottenham.
Both sides have been credited with an interest in the left-footed defender following his eye-catching performances in the Bundesliga and Champions League. The Gunners are said to be keen on bringing in another left-side defender despite Gabriel Magalhaes signing a new contract earlier this month.
Arsenal missed out on Ajax's Lisandro Martinez in the summer transfer window after he opted to reunite with Erik ten Hag at Manchester United. Antonio Conte's side are also believed to be interested in Ndicka after his performances against them in their European meetings this season.
