Arsenal are set for yet another busy summer transfer window as they look to close the gap to Premier League champions Manchester City.
West Ham United captain Declan Rice remains the north London club's priority signing for the summer window, football.london understands but Mikel Arteta is also keen to bolster his defensive options. Marc Guehi of Crystal Palace is one name on the club's list of potential options, football.london understands whilst Bayer Leverkusen centre-half Edmond Tapsoba has also been looked at.
In recent times, Galatasaray star Sacha Boey has been mooted as a potential target at right-back following an injury-riddled season for Gunners fullback Takehiro Tomiyasu. With that being said, football.london has rounded up all the latest news regarding Boey's future and a potential summer deal for Arteta's side.

No talks as of yet
Despite reports from Turkey claimed Arsenal had made a bid for Sacha Boey, transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has reported there is yet to be a proposal from Mikel Arteta's side.
He wrote on Twitter: "Arsenal have not made any proposal for Sacha Boey at this stage, despite reports. Been told there was no meeting with his new agents, just one of many players appreciated but not a negotiation as things stand.
"Galatasaray want more than €20m for their right back."
Galatasaray asking price
Following rumours that the Gunners had made an offer worth €20million (£17.2million), Galatasaray's asking price has been revealed.
Turkiye Gazetesi have claimed the Super Lig champions want €25million (£21.5million), at least, for Boey. Should Arsenal meet that valuation, it would be a significant contract to the €1.15million (£991,000) they paid Rennes for him in 2021.
First move
Arsenal have reportedly made their first move for Sacha Boey with a bid worth €20million (£17.2million). According to reports in Turkey, the offer is below Galatasaray's asking price.
The report claims the Gunners are "determined" to bring the Frenchman to north London after being impressed with his performances in the Super Lig.
Summer transfer update
Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has provided a number of updates on the future of Galatasaray star Sacha Boey who has been linked with Arsenal.
He said: "Arsenal are one of the two English clubs being kept informed on the conditions of the potential Sacha Boey deal. The 22-year-old Frenchman has just changed agents, but there have been no concrete talks with Arsenal yet.
"Galatasaray recently made it clear during meetings in London that their asking price for Boey is €25m."
Brighton war
Brighton are looking to battle with Arsenal for the signing of Sacha Boey, reports claim. The Seagulls are aiming to bolster their squad ahead of their Europa League endeavour next season.
According to 343 Digital, Brighton have offered £16million for the defender.
Price tag revealed
Galatasaray will demand around £20million for Boey, according to the Telegraph.
Their report claims that Arsenal are expected to face competition from other Premier League sides for the 22-year-old. Manchester City defender Joao Cancelo is also said to be of interest to the Gunners but there are fears that the Citizens don't want to sell any more players to Mikel Arteta and Co after Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr both swapped the Etihad Stadium for the Emirates last year.
Arsenal interested in move
The Evening Standard have reported that Arsenal are interested in a move for Boey, with the north London outfit keen to strengthen their options at fullback this summer.
It is claimed that the Frenchman is open to the idea of moving to the Premier League whilst the Gunners remain interested in Real Valladolid's Ivan Fresneda as another potential option at right-back.
Agent switch
According to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, Boey has signed with agency CAA Stellar.
Romano has reported that members of the sports agency visited London this week to negotiate with English clubs, with the switch said to be in anticipation of a potential summer move. CAA Stellar currently represent a number of Premier League players, including Arsenal duo Kieran Tierney and Rob Holding.
