Arsenal 'interested' in signing £26 million Ligue 1 star amid Tottenham transfer battle

Arsenal are interested in signing Montpellier starlet Elye Wahi, according to French outlet Juenes Footeux.

Wahi has established himself as one of Ligue 1's most exciting young forwards in recent times, netting 12 goals in 24 league outings this term, numbers that read even more impressive when you consider that he is still just 20 years old. It is claimed that the France Under-21 international is now being 'closely followed' by the Gunners, who would likely have to pay in the region of €30 million (£26.3 million) to prise him away from Montpellier in this summer's transfer window.

Tottenham Hotspur and Borussia Dortmund are also said to be interested in Wahi. However, Arsenal already are fairly stacked when it comes to their attack, with the likes of Gabriel Jesus, Eddie Nketiah and Leandro Trossard all regularly operating as centre-forwards for Mikel Arteta's side this season.
