Arsenal reportedly want Benjamin Mbunga-Kimpioka of Sunderland in the summer transfer window.

Arsenal are interested in signing Benjamin Mbunga-Kimpioka from Sunderland in the summer transfer window, according to TEAMtalk.

It has been reported that Premier League side Arsenal have tried to sign Mbunga-Kimpioka from League One outfit Sunderland this summer.

The Gunners were linked with a move for the 18-year-old winger last summer as well.

The Sunderland Echo claimed in June 2017 that the North London outfit were planning a move for the young Swede last summer.

Arsenal move?

With Sunderland to play in League One next season after getting relegated from the Championship at the end of the 2017-18 campaign, it is going to be hard for the Black Cats to keep hold of Mbunga-Kimpioka.

If Arsenal make another move for the 18-year-old, then the Black Cats could be forced to cash in on the talented and promising youngster.

Arsenal fans, though, should not expect the 18-year-old to make an immediate impact should he make the move to the Emirates Stadium, as he will need a couple of more years to develop and get to the standard needed to be a success in the Premier League.
