Arsenal are keeping tabs on Vitoria Guimaraes’s defensive midfielder Ibrahima Bamba.
The 20-year-old has an ever-growing list of admirers after breaking on to the scene in the Portuguese league, with Italian side Atalanta and Spaniards Villarreal making plenty of the running.
But Guimaraes have been told the Gunners are also keeping tabs on Bamba’s development and that they want to be kept abreast of any developments should they decide to let him leave.
