Arsenal may have beaten Ajax to Sacha Boey ahead of the summer transfer window.
The 22-year-old defender is making huge waves at Galatasaray, who are in pole position to win the Turkish Super Lig.
According to Aksam, Boey's good performances this season have piqued the interest of Arsenal.

The London club are seriously interested in the right back. And reportedly, the Frenchman himself also likes a switch to north London.
It's thought that an €11million deal would be enough to land the player, who's contracted to the Istanbul side until the summer of 2025.
Sporting CP, Udinese and Olympique Lyon are also monitoring the situation of the wing-back.
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar previously looked at the performance of Boey, among others, in the duel between Galatasaray and Kayserispor. In Amsterdam, Boey is seen as an ideal reinforcement for the right-back position.
Ajax are facing many problems there this season. Both Devyne Rensch (20) and Jorge Sánchez (25), who came over from Club América for €5m last summer, have not yet been able to impress this campaign.
Boey, on the other hand, is the best-performing full-back in the Turkish Süper Lig this season, according to data from SciSports.

During his previous visits to Galatasaray, Huntelaar also observed the performances of Kerem Akturkoglu and Victor Nelsson, both 24 years old.
Akturkoglu is reportedly on the radar of several English and Spanish clubs, while the Danish defender has attracted interest from Juventus, Internazionale and Aston Villa - with his release clause set at €25m.
