Arsenal are ‘destined’ to sign Brighton midfielder Yves Bissouma this summer if recent reports from Italy are to be believed.
The Gunners are in the market for a central midfielder, football.london understands. Despite extending Mohamed Elneny's contract, the north Londoners are light in the centre of the park, with Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey missing a combined 23 games through injury last season. Leicester City playmaker Youri Tielemans has been heavily linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium but it is Mali international Bissouma that is reportedly 'destined' to join Mikel Arteta's side in the coming months.
That is according to Italian outlet Calciomercato, who claim that Arsenal are ahead of Serie A side AS Roma in the race to sign the tough-tackling maestro. Bissouma excited some Gunners supporters over the weekend when he shared a message on his Instagram story about potentially being a target for Arteta and Co.
