The issues which could stop Sanllehi and Emery signing Samuel Umtiti

Arsenal have been linked with a move for  Barcelona star Samuel Umtiti in recent times amid claims that he may be sold. Umtiti has endured a frustrating campaign with injuries but the Gunners investigate a way to land the centre-back. Football.London claim, Arsenal's priorities in the transfer market this summer also include a left-back, a wide attacker and a replacement for Aaron Ramsey. But with funds set to be tight once again, they will need to be smart once the window opens. Financially, that makes a move for Umtiti difficult. The publication has also been told that there are major question marks over the defender's fitness - due to an injury to his left knee. Barcelona are keen to start a bidding war for the 25-year-old and, with United interested, could demand as much as £60million to let him go. The Frenchman has made 13 appearances this season and saw him sent to Qatar in December for treatment.
