Arsenal’s pursuit of Brighton midfielder Yves Bissouma has received a boost, according to reports.
The Mali international has emerged as a leading transfer target for Arsenal, who are looking to revamp their squad this summer.
Arsenal look set to miss out on European qualification, with next season likely to be their first without participation in continental competition since 1995/96.
Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has already spoken of the need to spend in the upcoming transfer window, and Yves Bissouma appears to be high up the club’s wish list.
Arsenal are not the only club showing an interest in the 24-year-old, though, with Liverpool, Manchester City and Marseille all considering an approach.
According to The Times, Bissouma is keen to seek pastures new after three seasons at the Amex Stadium, and has informed Brighton of his intentions.
The Seagulls are said to value the midfielder, who has been one of their standout performers this season, at £40m.
However, a bidding war between interested parties could drive up the price and help Albion pocket a larger sum.
