da supremo： Arsenal have resumed their interest in signing Benfica defender Ruben Dias, according to The Daily Mail.
The paper say that their need for a centre-back has intensified after Laurent Koscielny refused to take part in pre-season preparations and that the Gunners could look to utilise their entire transfer budget this summer on the Portuguese international.
The report states that the 22-year-old has a £54m release clause in his contract, but that Arsenal would look to offer a lower initial fee and bolster that with add-ons.

Given that the club are reported to have already failed to sign Celtic left-back Kieran Tierney and Crystal Palace attacker Wilfried Zaha this summer, there are question marks about their spending power.
Dias is a mainstay in the Benfica first-team making 55 appearances last season, helping them win the Portuguese title and reach the quarter-finals of the UEFA Europa League.
Arsenal fans seem keen on his arrival but simply don’t see the point in pursuing him when they feel the club are unable to afford the transfer.
