Arsenal 'weigh up move for Kostantinos Tsimikas'

Olympiacos defender Konstantinos Tsimikas has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for Arsenal.

The Gunners continue to be linked with a swoop for Paris Saint-Germain's Layvin Kurzawa as they attempt to bring a new left-back to the club before the January transfer window closes for business.

However, according to Corriere dello Sport, Mikel Arteta's side are now considering a move for Tsimikas, who is also thought to be high on Napoli's wish-list this month.

The 23-year-old, who is a three-time Greece international, has made 26 appearances for Olympiacos during the 2019-20 campaign, contributing six assists in the process.

The defender did not miss a minute of his team's Champions League group-stage campaign, meanwhile, featuring against Tottenham Hotspur on two occasions.

Arsenal signed left-back Kieran Tierney from Celtic over the summer, but the Scotland international has struggled with a number of injury problems since arriving at the Emirates Stadium.
