Arsenal are reportedly in the market for another midfielder this summer.
According to The Express in March, the Gunners have touched base with Yves Bissouma regarding a move from Brighton to the Emirates Stadium.
But should Edu look at the player he reportedly wanted last summer?
Footmercato reported in September that Arsenal were ‘clearly’ in contention to sign Lille powerhouse Boubakary Soumare.
In the end, the North Londoners wound up signing Thomas Partey, but it’s worth taking another look at Soumare because, well, he has just dominated Paris Saint-Germain.
The Ligue 1 side pulled off a shock 1-0 win away to PSG on Saturday and the 22-year-old looked like a real star for the visitors.
This is a massively-exciting talent in European football and if Arsenal genuinely do want another midfielder, then perhaps it’s better to go back to Soumare rather than pursue Bissouma.
Here’s how some fans of the Emirates Stadium side reacted to his display on Saturday afternoon:
