Arsenal have stepped up their interest in RB Leipzig defender Lukas Klostermann after Atletico Madrid watched him at the European Under-21 championships.
The 23-year-old enjoyed a strong 2018-19 campaign in the Bundesliga, racking up 26 appearances in total to help Ralf Rangnick’s side earn a top three finish, while also contributing five goals.
The German full-back has attracted plenty of attention from top clubs across Europe with his performances and he has been tipped to reach the highest level of the game in the coming years.
According to Bild via Team Talk, Arsenal and Atletico Madrid are both vying for Klostermann’s signature, but the Premier League outfit are now prepared to beat the La Liga giants in this particular transfer race.
That is a good development. We need more signings.
