Arsenal are checking on Rennes winger Ismaila Sarr – who has been likened to Barcelona’s Ousmane Dembele.
The 20-year-old Senegal international went to the World Cup.
Sarr underlined his potential with a wonder goal in the Europa League last week and is drawing admiring glances.
Inter Milan have also been watching the player who is valued in the £20m bracket by Rennes who have insisted he will not be sold in January.
But Arsenal are looking at wide options and Sarr has already drawn comparisons to Barcelona star Dembele.
Sarr has caught the eye of several Premier League clubs after his World Cup displays but Arsenal are now making checks on him.
The 20-year-old winger thrived in Russia with Senegal despite limited opportunities and has now attracted the interest of some of Europe’s top clubs.
