Arsenal gunning for 19-year-old defender

Arsenal are reportedly gunning for Nice defender Malang Sarr and they are set to make a bid for him in the winter transfer window which reopens in coming weeks.

The French international has been sighted as a good fit for the the North London outfit so as to add to the quality of the defence.

The Gunners team have scored a lot of goals this campaign but they have conceded may goals as well which is obvious that they needed a defender.

Malang Sarr has impressed a lot and that has drawn the attention of several European clubs who have all indicated interest in his signature.

Premiere League giants Liverpool and Manchester United have both indicated interest in the France based player but the North London side seems to have gone ahead.

The 19-year-old, though young, remains one of the best defenders in Ligue 1 having been solid with his side especially playing 10 games so far this season.

However, the defender has got a contract with the Eagles until 2021 with a release clause of £20 million but it is believed that it might increase with the number interests lined up for Malang Sarr.

It is learnt that Arsenal boss Unai Emery is bent on Malang Sarr and is ready to break the bank for the young talent.
