Agent reveals price for Arsenal, Chelsea target

English Premier League London rivals Chelsea and Arsenal have been told the price for French Ligue 1 Lyon star Tanguy Ndombele by his agent Duro Ivanisevic.

The North and West London teams have been in pursuit of the star player for weeks and with the transfer window set to reopen again in coming days, they have been told that Tanguy Ndombele will cost £72 million.

Lyon according to reports have claimed that they will not listen to anyone who is not willing to meet with the asking price for the player as they are also not keen on having him leave the club.

• Arsenal hit rock bottom in pursuit of highly-rated No.8 midfielder

Tanguy Ndombele is one of the best players in Europe at his 21 years of age which makes him one of the biggest prospect as well as an asset to his French side.

Both the Gunners and the Blues have got need of central midfielders ahead of the second half of the season but Chelsea have got N’Golo Kante which might make it difficult for Tanguy Ndombele in the team.

Arsenal are therefore tipped to win the race for the player should they meet with the £72 million asking price because they will be losing Wales international Aaron Ramsey at the end of the season which makes room for the star player.
