Aston Villa have withdrawn from the race to sign reported Arsenal target Yves Bissouma if recent reports are to be believed.
The Gunners have been heavily linked with a move for the Brighton midfielder in recent years and Italian outlet Calciomercato reported on Tuesday that the Mali international is 'destined' to join Mikel Arteta's side this summer. Their report claims that the north Londoners are ahead of Serie A side AS Roma in the race to sign the tough-tackling maestro, who excited some Arsenal fans over the weekend when he shared a message on his Instagram story about potentially being a target.
The caption read: "For me I think he [Bissouma] and [Youri] Tielemans should be our [Arsenal] priority in midfield. We must get Bissouma at all cost.”
