Arsenal fans have been calling on their club to sign Yves Bissouma.
The 24-year-old midfielder has been heavily linked with a move to North London this summer.
Football London claimed in January that the Brighton & Hove Albion star wanted a transfer to the Emirates Stadium.
More recently, The Times reported that the player handed in a request to leave the Seagulls last week.
Bissouma has been one of Albion’s best and most consistent performers this season – and proved it again with an all-action display on Saturday against West Ham United in a 1-1 draw at the Amex.
Here’s how some Arsenal fans reacted to his performance on Twitter:
This could be difficult for Edu and Mikel Arteta to pull off, for two reasons:
a) Arsenal probably won’t have European football to offer the player next season
b) Manchester City and Liverpool are also both reportedly keen on signing Bissouma.
If that last one is true, it’s difficult to see him snubbing the Reds or Pep Guardiola to play for the Emirates Stadium.
He might be a boyhood Arsenal fan, but City and Liverpool are light years ahead of the North London club and joining one of those two is arguably a better career move.
It seems definite that he won’t be staying at Brighton but time will tell where he winds up beyond that.
