Alassane Plea is said to be an option for Arsenal if Eddie Nketiah is to leave the club this summer by the Daily Mail.
The Gunners are thought to be on the hunt for a striker, and a move for Plea is a genuine possibility if they lose one of their current forwards.
Arsenal have Alexandre Lacazette and Nketiah as options to add depth to their current forward line, but neither of their futures are at all certain.
If they are sold, Arsenal will look to reinvest their funds in a number nine.
And Plea is said to be one of the forwards on their radar, as they look to strengthen their squad.
Who is Plea?
Plea has caught the eye with Borussia Monchengladbach and his ability to play right across the front line could make him very appealing as a squad option.
The Frenchman netted 12 goals across the course of last season in all competitions, while claiming five assists.
He is arguably more similar to Lacazette than Nketiah in terms of playing style, although there are still differences between the two.
There has actually been some interesting comparisons made between Plea and Tottenham’s Harry Kane.
The Bundesliga official website has written how he plays ‘just like Harry Kane’.
Plea actually currently wears the number 14 shirt due to his love for Thierry Henry, so a move to Arsenal could well appeal to the forward, if he chance was to come about.
