Arsenal will attempt a summer move for Borussia Dortmund defender Neven Subotic, according to ESPN.

The 26-year-old centre-back has gained a rapid reputation in recent seasons, although he has played largely in the shadow of Mats Hummels.

Subotic has one season left on his current deal at Signal Iduna Park and it is understood that Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is ready to make a summer move.

The Frenchman is keen to replace Per Mertesacker this summer after his inconsistent form this season, whilst Brazilian Gabriel Paulista has struggled thus far to settle in North London.

Subotic joined Dortmund from Mainz in 2008.
