Arsenal have made signing Borussia Dortmund defender Lukasz Piszczek their priority if Bacary Sagna leaves at the end of the season.

The Gunners are currently in negotiations with Sagna over a contract extension, with his current deal set to expire in the summer.

And despite talks initially progressing well, the full-back has since spoken to other clubs, and Arsenal are worried he may be tempted by bigger money offers elsewhere.

Arsene Wenger still hopes Sagna will sign up to the future, but he is planning for life if the player leaves, with Dortmund ace Piszczek now a top target.

The 28-year-old is rated as one of the best right-back’s in the world, with Real Madrid and PSG both watching him in recent months.



Piszczek is said to be growing frustrated with top players constantly departing Dortmund, and a summer transfer is on the cards.

Arsenal value the Pole at about £7million and believe he would provide vital experience to the back four, whilst not hampering the development of England Under-21 star Carl Jenkinson.
