Arsenal has been linked with a move for Vitoria Guimaraes man Ibrahima Bamba and a report on Calciomercato reveals they remain keen.
The Italian plays as a defender or a midfielder and has been developing well as one of the finest young talents in their league.
Guimaraes wants to keep him because they know how valuable he is, but they face a tough task to achieve that.
The report includes Aston Villa as his suitor, meaning Arsenal is now facing competition from their PL rivals to add the 20-year-old to their squad.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Bamba made the right decision to move to Guimaraes and has developed into a fine player, but he might struggle to play for us immediately.
This means we probably have to allow him to remain on loan in Portugal or send him out on loan to another club because he will struggle to play for us regularly instantly.
But having him on our books soon is important because if we let Villa win the race for his signature and he starts shining in England in their colours, it would be embarrassing after we had chased his signature for such a long time, even before the Villans entered the race.

Nah can spen £26 million on better plus villas activated his release clause.go get a centre half to cover Gabriel and Saliba and the main man for the job is Jonathan Tah from Bayern Leverkusen who I rate very highly, plus he’s a tank and has pace and would be great at arsenal. 🤞🙏
Yet another obviusly false rumour.
Even the writer clearly does not believe we will get him, And we won’t even be interested, either. FOR CERTAIN!
A mobile defensive midfielder who’s an upgrade to Lonkango.
I suspect the next player we will sign in this position will be a much more powerful player.
