Malang Sarr has “several offers” from top European clubs, according to Marca, with Arsenal and RB Leipzig leading the way.
The 21-year-old is available on a free transfer after leaving Ligue One side Nice at the end of last month and fans on Twitter believe he would be a perfect signing for the Gunners:
Perfect partner for Saliba in 2-3 years time!

Great bit of business if successful

I’d get him over Upa. More stable, left footed, doesn’t need a 3ATB system and a free, as well. Next summer we could target a top Center Back.

If he’s free then why not instead of paying for upa

Seems to obvious to me. Left footed CB/LB means we can move on from Kolasinac

Targeting the French center halves that RB Leipzig targets seems a good idea.

Sarr has already made over 100 appearances at senior level despite his young age and the fact he is left-footed will also make him an attractive option for head coach Mikel Arteta.
If the Gunners boss is keen on keeping with three at the back next season, he will want some competition for Sead Kolasinac who is currently being played out of position.
Sarr has experience of playing at left-back too so the left-sided centre-back role would be the perfect fit for him. With RB Leipzig also after him, though, it remains to be seen if Arsenal will get their man.
