Arsenal ready to offer player, £16m for Ismaila Sarr

Reports coming from a Senegal media claim that North London side Arsenal are willing to surrender goalkeeper Emi Martinez who is currently on loan with Stade Rennais plus a £16 million cash to secure the signature of Ismaila Sarr ahead of the winter transfer window which reopens in coming weeks.

Wiwsport claim that Ismaila Sarr is well known to Gunners manager Unai Emery and the Spanish boss is keen to land him at the Emirates Stadium for the second stanza of the season which starts in January.

It was therefore reported that the possibility of Ismaila Sarr leaving the French Ligue 1 club is high with the keen interest coming from the North London side.

Ismaila Sarr is also believed to be interested in a move to the Emirates Stadium for more exposure and better competition which the Premier League is well known for.

The young winger has scored eight goals and six assists in 23 games under his belt across all competition which could be a big boost to the Arsenal team.

However, with Danny Welbeck injured and set to leave the North London side, Ismaila Sarr could just be the best replacement now that it has been established that the club will be having some business activities in the coming transfer window.
