Arsenal has taken their search for reinforcements to France, where they have been linked with a move for Yacine Adli.
The 21-year-old currently plays for Bordeaux after breaking through at the PSG academy.
He is one of the youngest stars in the French top flight and his fine performance for his current club has caught the attention of Arsenal and other top clubs around Europe.
Foot Mercato as reported by The Sun claims that Arsenal’s search for a new attacking midfielder has brought him onto their radar.
The Gunners enjoyed the talents of Martin Odegaard in the second half of last season and want him back.
However, they are being forced to look elsewhere for his replacement as Real Madrid looks set to make him a key member of their squad in the upcoming season.
Adli also has interest from Tottenham and AC Milan, but it is the Italians that should worry Arsenal.
This is because the report claims they are so serious that they have already tabled an opening bid for him.
However, it has been rejected, which means Arsenal still has the chance to win the race for his signature in this transfer window.
This is ringing bells. Didn’t we think we had signed him a few years ago?
We went for this guy two years ago b4 we eventually got Guendouzi i remember.
At the time we really tried to sign him, and there were reports, even pictures, of him being in London.
We tried to sign this young guy a few years ago, and at the time I was genuinely excited by the prospect. Now, however, we seem to have quite a clutch of very talented youngsters, and unless we can get him very cheaply, I wouldn’t bother.
Why is Arsenal linked to so many players who aren’t coming on board? We’re tired just flash the money and select our first eleven.
Why not buy him and Aour along with Esr.Then we have three quality playmaker/attacking midfielders.You could buy Adli and Aour and still be cheaper than Maddisson,or get either of
these and try and get on loan Odegaard for another season with option to buy.Adli looks the real deal,his improvement in the last two years is immense.For the money would be a coup.
