Arsenal want Umtiti and Alaba

Barcelona defender Samuel Umtiti and Bayern Munich full-back David Alaba are among the names of summer transfer targets at Arsenal.

A report from Miguel Delaney of the Independent says the Gunners are looking to bring in five signings this summer to give Unai Emery the ammunition for a Premier League title challenge.

Bayern are currently "in the process" of a heavy clear-out this summer, with an expected income of €300m to be made on their departing players.

Alaba wouldn't be close to the top of that list, but the German champions are reportedly open for talks regarding their left-back's future at the Allianz Arena.

The Austria full-back has recently talked about his boyhood fondness of the Gunners, but Barca are interested in the defender's services as well.

Barcelona are looking to completely tone down their current wage bill and are keen to bring Matthijs de Ligt from Ajax in - perhaps to replace Umtiti.

Emery has singled out the central defensive position as a priority area to improve.
