Arsenal have reportedly identified Lille defender Gabriel Magalhaes as a replacement for David Luiz.

Le 10 Sport claims the Gunners have been keeping close tabs on Gabriel for some time and could launch an official bid in the coming weeks.

The Brazilian centre-back is set to be one of the biggest players this summer with Les Dogues preparing to cash-in on their stars.

The French outfit signed the 22-year-old defender in 2016 and he has since spent time on loan at Troyes and Dinamo Zagreb.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is on the hunt to replace David Luiz, will see his contract at the Emirates Stadium expire at the end of the month.
