Arsenal supporters were very impressed with the performance that Dayot Upamecano produced in the Champions League last night.

(BILD ZEITUNG OUT) Dayot Upamecano of RB Leipzig looks on during the Bundesliga match between FC Schalke 04 and RB Leipzig at Veltins-Arena on February 22, 2020 in Gelsenkirchen, Germany.

Arsenal fans are desperate for Dayot Upamecano to come to the Emirates Stadium after his performance in the Champions League last night against Tottenham Hotspur.

Upamecano started in defence for RB Leipzig yesterday, as they won 3-0 against Spurs.

Arsenal supporters had a keen eye on Upamecano, as they have been linked heavily with the powerful centre-back in recent times.

And Gunners fans could not help but be impressed by the 21-year-old’s display during the contest.

The Daily Mirror have suggested that Arsenal are eyeing a move for the centre-back, who could be available for £52 million in the summer (Tribuna).

If Upamecano was to arrive at Arsenal he would add power and speed to their back-line, and he also would have the ball playing capabilities to thrive in Arteta’s side.

Upamecano drove Leipzig down the pitch on multiple occasions, as Tottenham’s attackers struggled to deal with him throughout the contest.

The 21-year-old’s performance suggested he would be ideally suited to Premier League football, and it will be interesting to see if Arsenal really step up their interest in him now.
