Arsene Wenger is set to offer the 38-year-old a short term deal as he looks to find cover for the Gunners' defence.

The Frenchman failed in his attempts to recruit Daniel Agger and Kostas Manolas during the summer, after Thomas Vermaelen was allowed to join Barcelona.

The Belgian centre back signed a five-year contract at the Nou Camp in a deal worth £16m.

Wenger was understood to want to make a defensive signing on deadline day but was only able to push through a last minute move for Danny Welbeck.

The reports in Colombia claim Yepes is keen to test himself in the Premier League and hopes a deal can be struck in the coming weeks.
