It’s no secret that Arsenal are looking for someone who would improve their options up wide.
Unai Emery has always had natural talents on the flanks at all the club’s he have managed and at Arsenal he just has bunch of players playing wide who would rather play centrally.
Starting from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who plays on the left-wing but is regarded as one of the best striker around the globe and Mesut Ozil, who is forced to play on the right side but is potentially Premier League’s best Number ’10’, Henrikh Mkhitaryan has also been used on the both sides up front.
Despite the fact that Pierre-Emerick playing on the left, gives Arsenal supporters the iconic duo of Aubameyang and Lacazette, and the fact that they have been successful playing with Ozil on the right as well, Unai Emery would like to add a natural beast in his ranks and all the Ousmane Dembele links to Arsenal in the summer makes sense.
But Barcelona were never meant to lay off someone who is poised to be their future, someone who can get near to replacing Messi when the Argentine calls it a day.
So Sven Mislintat was forced to look beyond, Arsenal are linked with likes of Cristian Pavon, Nicolas Pepe and Ismaila Sarr. The later has got Arsenal supporters the most excited.
France has always been a finding ground for upcoming talents who turn out to be gems to football. Saido Mane, Ousmane Dembele and most recently Matteo Guendouzi are some of the household names who have come up recently.
It looks like France have produced another gem in Ismaila Sarr.

Sarr has caught eye of many European giants especially after shining at the World Cup with Senegal. Manchester United, Chelsea, Juventus, Manchester City and Inter Milan are the clubs along with Arsenal reportedly interested in acquiring Ismaila Sarr’s services.

“Many agents from the UK have called me proposing to work with them and Ismaïla to get him to the Premier League.
“We are talking about a great football player, who will play at the highest levels for the next ten years.
“I am open to discussions with all top European club. The important thing is that he goes in a team that makes him play.
