Arsenal could bolster their midfield ranks this summer with a bargain move for Eintracht Frankfurt star Djibril Sow, according to reports.

According to Sport1, the Swiss international has rejected a contract extension with the German side, and could leave for more than half of his current release clause.

Sow's deal contains a £30.7million release clause, but that will drop to just £13m when he enters the final 12 months of his contract this summer.

The 26-year-old joined Die Adler from Swiss side Young Boys in 2019, and has been an ever-present since his arrival, helping the German club to win the Europa League last season.

Primarily a defensive midfielder, Sow could provided Gunners boss Mikel Arteta with some much-needed cover for Thomas Partey.
