Arsenal have approached Sevilla over the transfer of French center-half Sebastian Squillaci.

Sevilla said in a statement that an offer had been received for the 30-year-old, whose future is up in the air, according to the Primera Liga club's website.

Arsenal are in dire need for a central defender, following the departure of William Gallas, Mikael Silvestre and Sol Campbell, plus the long-term injury of Johan Djourou.

Moreover, new signing Laurent Koscielny was sent off on his debut in the 1-1 draw at Liverpool last week, leaving Thomas Vermaelen as the only fit and recognized center-half.

Squillaci was part of France's infamous 23 during the 2010 World Cup.
