Arsenal have joined the race for Manchester City centre-back Aymeric Laporte. The Spain international is wanted by a host of clubs amid continued uncertainty over his future at the Etihad Stadium.
Tottenham and Aston Villa have both been credited with interest in Laporte, with La Liga champions Barcelona are also keen. Recent reports have insisted the 29-year-old will be free to leave Pep Guardiola's side this summer ahead of Josko Gvardiol's imminent arrival from RB Leipzig.
Last season, Laporte managed only 24 appearances across all competitions due to the consistent performances of Manuel Akanji, John Stones and Nathan Ake. With Gvardiol on the verge of completing his £86 million move to the Premier League, interest in Laporte is set to intensify in the coming days.
