According to the Evening standard , Mikel Arteta is keen to add defensive depth to his squad and sees Sutalo as a potential target for a fee of around £18million.
The Gunners have been keeping a close eye on the 23-year-old right-back, who has made 32 appearances across all competitions this season. Sutalo has been with Dinamo Zagreb’s senior squad since 2020 and has garnered interest from several other clubs, including Fiorentina, Leipzig, Wolfsburg, Fulham, and Manchester United, as per the Daily Cannon.
