Arsenal are jumping into the battle for Barcelona defender Samuel Umtiti.

It's been suggested Barca could cash in on Umtiti this summer in order to make room for Ajax defender Matthijs de Ligt.

The development has led to speculation of Manchester United reviving their long-term interest in the Frenchman.

However, Mundo Deportivo says Arsenal are now moving for Umtiti, with former Barca director Raul Sanllehi driving the move.

Sanllehi was still with Barca when Umtiti arrived from Lyon and would love to bring him to London this summer.
