Arsenal is reportedly ready to up their bid to land Everton defender Phil Jagielka to £12 million.
The Gunners conceded the highest number of goals among the top four in the Premier League last season, and questions were asked of the club's defence throughout the course of the campaign.
The north London club has been linked with a number of players with Premier League experience to bolster a defence that has also been depleted this summer by the departure of left-back Gael Clichy to Manchester City.
Arsenal reportedly had a £10m bid for Jagielka turned down by the Toffees last week, but now The Express claims that the bid will be increased by another £2m this week.
It is believed that Everton would agree to sell Jagielka if they receive an offer of £17m for the former Sheffield United central defender.
