Arsenal in a strong position to sign defender Goncalo Inacio.

The Portuguese defender has already been linked with several Premier League clubs like Liverpool and Manchester United.

Goncalo Inacio has recently tasted success with Sporting CP after winning the Liga Nos title.

The 22-year-old has gone from strength to strength since breaking into the first-team at Sporting and is considered as one of the best young defenders in European football.

The Gunners are reportedly interested in signing a defender this January and have identified Inacio as their next big target.

According to a Portuguese outlet, A Bola, Arsenal are leading the race for the defender’s signature who has a €60million release clause.

Arsenal already has William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes, Ben White and Jakub Kiwior as options at centre-back.

Sporting are aware that they could lose their best defender in the January window as most interested parties will trigger his €60million release clause.

Arsenal are currently best placed to land the young defender and could even offer a loan-to-buy deal for Inacio.

Rivals Liverpool are also keen to add depth to their defensive line, as Jurgen Klopp is scouting a long-term replacement for club legend Virgil van Dijk.
