Arsenal 'ready to table £50m bid for RB Leipzig's Emil Forsberg'

Arsenal are said to be ready to table a firm bid for RB Leipzig midfielder Emil Forsberg.

The Gunners will make a £50m offer for the Sweden international in the coming days, according to Expressen.

The 26-year-old, who has five goals and four assists in the Bundesliga this season, could become new Arsenal boss Unai Emery's first signing for the club.

Leipzig are said to be keen to hold on to Forsberg and are believed to be readying an improved contract for him, even though his existing deal runs until 2022.

Meanwhile, the German club are reportedly aiming to make Ademola Lookman's loan move from Everton permanent this summer.
