Kevin Campbell has suggested on Highbury Squad that Arsenal should bring Yves Bissouma to the Emirates Stadium.
The former Arsenal striker has raved about the Brighton and the Hove Albion midfielder and has outlined his attributes.
The Sky Sports pundit has said that Bissouma would be the ideal partner to Thomas Partey in the middle of the park for Arsenal.
The Times reported in May that Arsenal are interested in signing the 24-year-old Mali international in the summer transfer window and have already inquired about his availability.
Campbell said on Highbury Squad: “Bissouma, for me, he is the ideal partner in there for Thomas Partey.
“He is combative, he is a lot better on the ball than people give him credit for, the kid can play, he is young, he knows the Premier League, he is tough. he tracks back, he puts the tackles in, he is box-to-box, if you need him he can hold. That’s my guy.”
Yves Bissouma to Arsenal possible?
Arsenal have already signed a midfielder in Albert Sambi Lokonga, but the Belgian is only 21.
Manager Mikel Ateta is unlikely to use the 21-year-old on a regular basis next season.
Bissouma has been doing well for Brighton in the Premier League since 2018 and is ready to take the next step in his career.
The 24-year-old’s attributes, as outlined by Campbell, would make him a suitable partner for Partey at Arsenal.
Brighton reportedly want £30 million for Bissouma.
It is not a massive amount, but would Arsenal pay it, especially as they are reportedly on the verge of signing Ben White from Brighton for £50m?
