ARSENAL are reportedly interested in signing Giannis Konstantelias in a £10million transfer from PAOK.
The Gunners currently sit at the top of the Premier League table, five points ahead of Manchester City.
Mikel Arteta is eager to add to his squad this month in the hope of continuing the club’s title charge.
And according to the Evening Standard, Konstantelias has emerged as a transfer target.
Arsenal sporting director Edu is expected to send scouts to watch the 19-year-old, who is valued at around £10m, in action for PAOK later this month.
But, the Gunners face competition from Premier League rivals Manchester City, Wolves, Leeds and Crystal Palace in the transfer race.

Konstantelias joined the PAOK academy at the age of 10 and broke into the first team eight years later.
He has since made 20 appearances for the Greek Super League team.
The midfielder also represents Greece Under-21s, but he is expected to make his senior international debut during the Euro 2024 qualifiers in March.
If Konstantelias does leave PAOK in a permanent transfer before deadline day, he will likely return to Greece on loan until the end of the season.
