Arsenal are preparing to rival Leicester City and Sevilla in the race for Brest midfielder Ibrahima Diallo, who has been billed as ‘the next N’Golo Kante’, according to reports.
The 21-year-old has enjoyed an impressive breakthrough season in Ligue 1, attracting interest from top clubs across Europe.
The French outfit turned down a £16 million bid from the Foxes in January, but boss Brendan Rodgers has retained his interest in the youngster.
According to the Daily Star, Arsenal and Sevilla have emerged as the frontrunners to sign Diallo for £20m in the next transfer window.
The Gunners are weighing up a potential bid for the defensive midfielder, who has represented France at youth level. (Text, photo by Metro)
