Report: Arsenal consider Yacine Brahimi swoop

Arsenal are reportedly interested in signing Porto winger Yacine Brahimi as a replacement for Alexis Sanchez.

Sanchez's contract at the Emirates Stadium will expire next summer, and it appears almost certain that the Chilean will leave the Gunners either in January or at the end of the 2017-18 campaign.

Mesut Ozil is in a similar situation at the club, and it is thought that the German will also look to move on.

As a result, Arsenal are already considering replacements for the key duo, with A Bola claiming that head coach Arsene Wenger has identified Brahimi as the perfect player to boost his attack.

Brahimi, 27, joined Porto from Granada in 2014, and has scored 32 times in 134 appearances for the Portuguese club.

This season, the Algerian international has managed four goals and three assists in 11 Liga NOS fixtures.
