‘What Is Arsenal Waiting For?’ ‘Buy Him Now’ Fans Respond To Latest TheAFCBell Transfer Update

David Tully Jun 4th 2021

Brighton midfielder Yves Bissouma is “fascinated” by Arsenal and would make the Gunners his priority destination if the London club make a bid for him, according to TheAFC Bell.

The reliable Twitter ITK claims there are at least five clubs interested in signing the Malian international, including one other Premier League side, and three continental European teams:


Liverpool and Manchester City are the likeliest rivals for Bissouma’s signature in England but from what TheAFCBell is saying, it appears the 24-year-old has his heart set on a move to the Emirates. Fans on Twitter are excited by this latest development:

Arsenal have yet to make a formal bid for the midfielder and it remains to be seen whether they will have the funds to finance a deal, especially if they complete a move for Norwich’s Emi Buendia.

The Gunners have reportedly made an opening offer of £30m (including add-ons) for the Argentine but the Canaries are expected to hold out for £40m. With Brighton likely to want a similar figure for Bissouma, it’s unlikely that Mikel Arteta’s side will be able to afford both without raising money through player sales.
