Arsenal are eyeing Martin Terrier for a potential move just months after the Rennes wide man was hailed by Gunners legend Thierry Henry.

The Gunners have enjoyed a great start to the season and look to be a solid bet for Champions League football.

Edu will have his eye on a number of potential signings for January though and quality additions could secure a top-four place finish for Arsenal.

A number of positions will be eyed up; defensive midfield, left-sided centre back and then another winger.

Arsenal are eyeing Martin Terrier

Arsenal allowed winger Nicolas Pepe to join Nice on loan before the summer deadline but didn’t bring in a replacement.

That means a new wide man will be wanted in January and Orlando City talent Facundo Torres appears to be the key target right now.

Another name in the mix is Martin Terrier with 90Min reporting that Arsenal have been scouting him in the last two weeks.

Terrier, 25, has been shining for Rennes this season and may soon be ready to make a big move away.

The former Lyon talent has racked up 11 goals and four assists in 18 games across Ligue 1 and Europa League action.

Primarily a left-sided winger who cuts in on his right foot, Terrier can also play up front, meaning he would offer competition for both Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus.

A move for Terrier would be exciting for Arsenal and Gunners legend Thierry Henry would seemingly approve a deal for his compatriot.

Speaking back in May in quotes transcribed by Get Football News France, Henry admitted that he likes Terrier ‘a lot’.

Henry was backing Terrier for French international call-ups because other players were being called up despite offering less than Terrier.

Henry admired Terrier’s goalscoring ability after 21 goals last season and he has shown that last season wasn’t a fluke.

Terrier is yet to win that elusive first France cap but if Arsenal needed any indication of Terrier’s quality, having the seal of approval from Henry should do the trick.
