Arsenal's approach for a right-back is stepping up this summer as Mikel Arteta looks to add yet another option to his backline for next season. Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu have been the two players that have held down the right flank over the past year, but injury issues to the latter has resulted in only the former being available most of the time.
Given the addition of Champions League football next campaign, on top of the desire to push for yet more trophies and a Premier League title, the need for squad depth is clear. A whole host of names have been linked for a transfer at full-back over the coming window.
Amongst those names have been the likes of Ivan Fresneda and Joao Cancelo, both adding quality in depth to the side for the upcoming season. However, there's another player in the frame and that's Leicester City's Timothy Castagne, who could be available following the Foxes' relegation from the Premier League.
With that said, here's a look at the latest on the Belgian international's potential switch to the Emirates Stadium for the upcoming season.
Talks held
Arsenal have held talks with Leicester City over a potential deal for Timothy Castagne this summer, according to a report from journalist Sacha Tavolieri. The full-back is believed to be a second choice option for the Gunners behind Ivan Fresneda, but Tavolieri claims that talks could ramp up as the north London outfit look to get a cut-price deal.
