Arsenal fans feel confident that Yves Bissouma will be joining them after he was pictured with Nicolas Pepe at full-time yesterday.
Arsenal have been heavily linked with Bissouma heading into the summer, with Football London saying that he is keen on a move to the Emirates Stadium.
The £30 million-rated midfielder grew up as an Arsenal fan (Transfer Window Podcast).
And it’s fair to say that he did little to quash the rumours after yesterday’s game.
Brighton were beaten 2-0 by Arsenal, but Bissouma was still happy to pose with Pepe after the game.
And many Arsenal fans feel that the move is very likely to happen at this point.
It should be noted that Pepe and Bissouma do know each other from their time together at Lille, but the decision to go public with the photo is an interesting one, given recent speculation.
If Arsenal were to sign Bissouma he could be an attractive addition.
The 24-year-old has been one of the stand out midfielders in the Premier League this term and looks ready to make a step up.
Arsenal’s task of landing him won’t be straight forward, as it is thought that most of the Premier League’s top four are also keen.
But a potential partnership of Bissouma and Thomas Partey would certainly make Arsenal’s midfield options look a lot stronger next season, as they look to progress.
