Arsenal are stepping up their interest in strengthening in defence this summer, with a top young centre-back likely to be the priority.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Gunners have a long-standing interest in Real Madrid\u2019s Victor Valdepenas, and my sources have confirmed another name to me in conversations this morning.<\/p>\n

One player Arsenal really like, and who is attracting growing interest ahead of this summer, is Como centre-back Jacobo Ramon.<\/p>\n

The 21-year-old joined Como from Real Madrid last summer, and it\u2019s important to note that they have a buy-back clause, and also a 50% sell-on clause.<\/p>\n

The buy-back clause gives Real the edge if they decide to re-sign him, which is possible but I can\u2019t confirm that it\u2019s on the cards at the moment, while the hefty sell-on clause is likely to inflate his price so Como can still make decent money from any deal.<\/p>\n

Arsenal and Chelsea in mix for Jacobo Ramon transfer<\/h2>\n

Chelsea have been linked with Ramon in recent times and my understanding is that they are still considering him as one of a number of options to strengthen their defence this summer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Still, well-connected sources now say Arsenal are stepping up their interest as well, as they strongly consider him alongside Valdepenas as an ideal profile to give them a long-term successor to Gabriel Magalhaes.<\/p>\n

Gabriel is one of Arsenal\u2019s most important players, but he\u2019s now 28 and arguably starting to show some signs of decline after injury problems both this season and last term.<\/p>\n

\u201cArsenal are looking very closely at Valdepenas and Ramon this summer,\u201d one source said. \u201cTheir scouts have watched them several times and the feedback has been really positive. Arteta wants a young centre-back that can eventually become Gabriel\u2019s replacement to partner Saliba.\u201d<\/p>\n

Could Jacobo Ramon return to Real Madrid?<\/h2>\n

As mentioned above, Real Madrid have favourable conditions to bring Ramon back, so any interest from other clubs could convince them to move.<\/p>\n

This is what Los Blancos did with Nico Paz, whom they also sold to Como with a buy-back clause which is set to be triggered this summer.<\/p>\n

Still, Madrid signed Dean Huijsen from Bournemouth last summer so arguably don\u2019t need another top young defender quite as much.<\/p>\n
