Report: Arsenal want Samuel Umtiti, Presnel Kimpembe

Samuel Umtiti and Presnel Kimpembe, of Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain respectively, are reportedly the two players being targeted by Arsenal boss Unai Emery.

Arsenal have reportedly centered their search for a new defender on two targets, with Barcelona's Samuel Umtiti and Presnel Kimpembe of Paris Saint-Germain in their sights.

The Gunners are in need of reinforcements at the back after conceding 51 goals in the Premier League in Unai Emery's first season in charge.

A number of names have been linked with Arsenal, but Le 10 Sport claims that they are after one of Umtiti or Kimpembe.

Emery worked with Kimpembe at PSG, where the 23-year-old has spent his entire career to date, and he may be offloaded by the French giants to make room for Matthijs de Ligt.

Meanwhile, Umtiti lost his place at Barcelona last season and is believed to be up for sale, though his valuation far exceeds the amount Arsenal are able to offer.
