Arsenal to rival Barcelona for Ivorian midfielder?

Arsenal are reportedly weighing up a summer move for Toulouse midfielder Ibrahim Sangare.

The 2019-20 Ligue 1 season has been prematurely brought to an end due to the coronavirus outbreak, which could see Toulouse lose a number of important players during this summer's transfer window.

Barcelona have recently been credited with an interest in Sangare, who has made 25 Ligue 1 outings this term.

However, according to football.london, Arsenal are also considering a move for the Ivory Coast international when this summer's transfer window opens for business.

The 22-year-old's current deal in France is due to expire next summer, and it has been suggested that he could be available for as little as €11m (£10.2m) ahead of the 2020-21 campaign.

Everton and Newcastle United are also believed to be closely monitoring developments.
