Arsenal will reportedly revive their interest in Kieran Trippier following their poor start to the season.
The Gunners are the biggest spenders in the Premier League so far this summer, splashing out £129million on the likes of Ben White, Aaron Ramsdale and Martin Odegaard.
Trippier helped Atletico beat Real Madrid and Barcelona to the LaLiga title last season
Their focus has been on signing younger players, but their start to the 2021/22 campaign has been underwhelming.
It is early days, but 2-0 defeats to Brentford and Chelsea have left fans unhappy and they hold particular fears over their defence.
The Sun report the Gunners are keen to bring Trippier to the Emirates, but need Atletico Madrid to lower their valuation.
Atletico are still said to be demanding the full £34million to activate the release clause in his contract, despite his deal entering its final 12 months.
Trippier could make a return to the Premier League this summer
Trippier has found himself out of Diego Simeone's starting line-up in their opening two LaLiga games, giving Arsenal hope that he could yet move.
The 30-year-old joined Atletico in a £20million deal from the Gunners' fierce rivals Tottenham in 2019, helping them win the league title last year.
He had been linked to Manchester United earlier this summer, but Arsenal now remains his best option if he wants a Premier League return.
Hector Bellerin is seeking an exit from the club, while Calum Chambers and Cedric Soares have failed to impress at right-back in the opening two games of the season.
