In a recent interview, a rumoured Arsenal target admitted now might be the right time to leave his current club.

Arsenal are set to ramp up their transfer business after a slow start to the window.

The Gunners are in the market for an attacker this summer and Spain’s Nico Williams is believed to be one of their primary targets.

Though, they are also taking a look at a left-footed winger, who has admitted now might be the right time to move on.

Johan Bakayoko says now might be the right time to leave PSV

Arsenal have been linked with a move for PSV winger Johan Bakayoko in recent weeks with talks even taking place last month.

In a recent interview with Voetball International, Bakayoko admitted that this summer could be the right moment to depart the Dutch champions.

“I want to go to a club that can go as far as possible in the Champions League. A club that plays for the title every season and where I can improve every year,” the Belgium international said.

“I exclude a lot of clubs. My ambitions are high and not with the clubs in the middle bracket. I am doing well here, so I will only exchange PSV for a club that plays for prizes.

“It could be a good moment to make a transfer now, but that could also be the case next year. For example, if we have become champions again or have gone far in the Champions League.”

Johan Bakayoko statistics

Bakayoko, who primarily plies his trade on the right, netted 14 goals whilst laying on as many assists last term.

He made his debut for the Belgium national team in March 2023 and has racked up 14 caps, netting once against Estonia.
