Arsenal have been linked with a move for AS Monaco winger Keita Balde.

The Senegal international has emerged as a potentia option for the Gunners according to Le10 Sport, who state that manager Leonardo Jardim could be open to a sale.

Balde struggled to be consistent throughout the season, which appears to be a reason why Inter don’t want to pay Monaco’s £30 million asking price (Irish Mirror).

The Gunners are in desperate need of fresh impetus in the wide areas going into 2019/20.

Alex Iwobi started 2018/19 brightly under Unai Emery but struggled towards the end and Henrikh Mkhitaryan is still yet to show his best form for the club since his move from Manchester United in January 2018.
