A reported Arsenal target was among the star players who dazzled in a shock defeat for Liverpool last night.
The Gunners were linked with a move for Yves Bissouma during the January transfer window.
And according to Football London, the Brighton & Hove Albion powerhouse has his heart set on a move to Arsenal this summer – and going by his performance against Premier League champions Liverpool, it might be a shrewd addition for the Emirates Stadium side.
Bissouma produced a no-nonsense display in the heart of his side’s midfield as Albion left Anfield with a shock 1-0 victory, with the ease at which he won the ball against Jurgen Klopp’s side a particular highlight.
Here’s how some fans of the North London club reacted to his display:
Could a move to Arsenal happen? Possibly, but it’s unlikely.
Thomas Partey only joined in a £45 million deal in October and he looks the real deal, so the most obvious casualty from a potential move for Bissouma is Granit Xhaka.
That being said, the Swiss midfielder has been given a new lease of life over the past month or so and on this form, Mikel Arteta won’t have any plans to replace him.
