Arsenal look to beat West Ham to a January deal for Frankfurt defender

Arsenal are keeping tabs on Eintracht Frankfurt defender Martin Hinteregger, who is also a target for West Ham.

After a troublesome season so far in terms of defensive stability, Arsenal are on the hunt for more reliable figures in their own box.

Even though the Gunners signed David Luiz from Chelsea on deadline day in a deal worth £8m, they're not satisfied with their current options.

As fate would have it, even their loanee William Saliba suffered a fractured metatarsal on Wednesday evening.

Now Arsenal have turned their attention to Frankfurt's Hinteregger as the search for a new centre-back intensifies, according to Footballinsider247.

Over the coming months, Arsenal will continue to track the Austrian international who is said to be valued at £22m.

It's believed then a decision will be made whether or not to make an offer in the January transfer window.

Hinteregger bolstered his reputation with a mammoth display, including a goal, against Bayern Munich as Frankfurt defeated the Bundesliga champions 5-1.
