Arsenal has a longstanding interest in Yves Bissouma, and this summer is probably the best time to add him to their squad.
The Brighton midfielder has been one of the best players in his position in the Premier League, and the likes of Liverpool and Aston Villa have also been linked with a move for him.
With a contract that expires in 2023, he would be spoilt for choice of potential suitors, and Arsenal could get their man for a good fee.
However, Talk Sport claims he is now being lined up by AS Monaco as a replacement for one of their want away players.
The French club could sell Aurelien Tchouameni this summer, with Real Madrid pushing to sign the French international.
The Ligue 1 club is now looking for a replacement, and they have identified Bissouma as one player that can deliver the same performance for them when Tchouameni leaves.
Just Arsenal Opinion
If we are truly serious about signing Bissouma, we need to act fast because it makes almost no sense that Monaco will beat us to his signature.
The Malian will probably also prefer to remain in the Premier League, so it is up to us to ensure that we find an agreement with his present employers and take him to London.

A no for me.way too overhyped.
Yes for me. Already he’s online mentioning Arsenal… he would be the eventual successor to Partey but can play a few seasons together as he’s 25.
Sign him and Teilimans, Loan Lokonga for a season like Taveres when we sign a LB. Jesus seems like a done deal, not sure on this one
Admin M.Point of correction the subject in your article is the one who wants to come to arsenal not what you think.Every season he keeps reminding us he’s a gunner but unfortunately the coach doesn’t look towards him.
Should have got him last year instead of White. We would probably have got 4th if we had.
My sentiments exactly. Bissouma clearly the one who knits things together, White was overhyped and overpriced; Brighton hasn’t missed him at all.
PL proven, young, instantly adds steel to our soft and porous midfield.
Instead of White and let Saliba have a go!! Ben hasn’t been great at all for £50m
Bissouma should have been an Arsenal from last summer. But, they paid 50m pounds for the wrong player Arsenal needed. l am not sure how much he would cost now, because Chieck Doucoure and Danilo are available for 18m and 21m pounds respectively.
He would do the trick for me. Arsenal need a tackler other than Partey and he is comfortable on the ball. He receives too many yellows but it is natural, almost comes with the role.
Only concern he was arrested for s. assault in October, and Arsenal for sure would not want to sign a player who ends behind bar.
