Arsenal fans want the club to sign Upamecano

Arsenal fans appear to have seen enough of their current defence and have been left urging the club to sign long-term target Dayot Upamecano.

As suggested by @PatrickTimmons1 on Twitter, Upamecano is a player that plenty of supporters want to see partner William Saliba going forward at the Emirates.

The latter is due to join the club in the summer after agreeing a move during the previous transfer window.

He is highly-rated in France and is expected to fight for a first-team spot next season when links up with Arsenal for the first time.

Despite a patchy performance against Borussia Dortmund recently, these fans are convinced Upamecano is the man they need at the back.

Arsenal’s defence has been their real weakness this season. No team inside the top 10 has conceded more goals than the Gunners (27).

It’ll be Arteta’s biggest task and one that he’ll need to resolve as soon as possible.

Going forward, it looks like an area that the club will need to strengthen, even with Saliba coming in over the summer.

He might be a very promising young player, but Saliba will still be learning the game when he arrives at Arsenal. At such a tender age, he’ll need to be given the time to adapt to the Premier League.

Upamecano would be a stunning addition to the squad if they can pull it off, but after the success that Leipzig are enjoying this season, there might be a few more suitors for the Frenchman in the summer.
