Arsenal had Rennes midfielder Lovro Majer watched again on Thursday when he played for Croatia against Denmark.
The 24-year-old — who has been compared with Luka Modric in his homeland — has been on the Gunners’ radar following the success of his move to Ligue 1. Rennes paid around £10million to take him from Dinamo Zagreb 13 months ago.
And so well has he performed that since moving to Brittany that the French outfit will demand at least £44m from any clubs which want to sign him. Majer, who has been capped nine times by Croatia, signed a five-year deal when he arrived at Roazhan Park.
