Boost for Arsenal? Bayern stance for ‘expensive’ defender revealed Bayern Munich are unlikely to move for RB Leipzig defender Castello Lukeba in the summer transfer window. The news will come as a potential boost to Premier League clubs, such as Arsenal, who are reportedly showing keen interest in him.
Manchester United are also believed to be interested in signing the French defender. Castello Lukeba: Arsenal advantage in the race? Earlier this month, French publication L’Equipe reported that Lukeba is firmly on Arsenal’s radar.
The north London club are impressed by Lukeba’s development over the years and has opened discussions over a possible summer move. Arsenal scouts recently watched him during Leipzig’s 2-2 draw against Borussia Dortmund, and they were impressed with what they saw. The north London club are yet to submit an official bid, but they have begun laying the groundwork for a potential move by holding talks with the player’s agents.
Arsenal do have a wealth of options at the back, but it appears that Mikel Arteta still wants to add more depth and quality to the side. Bayern to miss out on Castello Lukeba? Lukeba joined Leipzig in the summer of 2023 from Lyon and has become an important player for the club.
