Dayot Upamecano: Arsenal fans want transfer deal done for RB Leipzig star after Tottenham performance

Arsenal fans were thoroughly impressed by the performance of RB Leipzig's Dayot Upamecano in their Champions League thumping over Tottenham.

The 21-year-old Frenchman was rarely troubled as Tottenham – albeit it without Harry Kane and Heung-min Son – suffered a 4-0 aggregate loss and exited the tournament as a result.

Upamecano has become one of the biggest commodities in world football after a series of impressive performances, proving once more why his reputation has rocketed.

The north London club wanted to sign the defender last summer, but were priced out of a move given the France international was valued at over £70million - and that asking price will likely be higher following Leipzig's Champions League run.

Regardless of the price, Arsenal fans – upon witnessing yet another fine display from the youngster – have taken to Twitter, and have made it abundantly clear they would love to see him in an Arsenal shirt come the start of next season.
