Arsenal are ready to turn their defensive focus to Monaco centre-half Marcel Tisserand, but Leicester City are also interested in the 23-year-old, according to The Daily Mail.

The Gunners are depleted in their options at centre-half and have been linked with a host of potential recruits over recent weeks.

The supposed pursuit of Valencia’s Shkodran Mustafi has not materialised and as such the North London team are expected to make moves elsewhere.

Tisserand is on the books of Monaco but could well be set to leave the Stade Louis II following plenty of speculation over his future in recent weeks.

The Congo international impressed while on loan at Toulouse last season but has returned to the Principality outfit for 2016-17.

The latest report suggests that Arsenal are ready to step up their interest in the versatile enforcer, but Claudio Ranieri’s Premier League champions are also interested in Tisserand too.
