Reported Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur target Aaron Boupendza might have just scored the goal that puts him firmly in the spotlight and the shop window ahead of the summer.

According to 90min, the Gabon international is being monitored by the Gunners, Spurs and a host of other Premier League teams.

Boupendza currently plays for Hatayspor, who are seventh in the Turkish Super Lig, and has scored an impressive 18 goals in 26 league appearances.

The 24-year-old was in action alongside Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in a must-win Africa Cup of Nations qualifier for Gabon against DR Congo on Thursday.

And Boupendza broke the deadlock in style, getting the better of his marker before unleashing a fierce effort from a tight angle just inside the box.

Dennis Bouanga then doubled the lead in the 72nd minute after being put through by Aubameyang, and the Arsenal skipper sealed the win with a close-range strike courtesy of Guelor Kanga’s assist.

According to The Sun, Hatayspor are demanding £8.5million for Boupendza.

Leicester, West Ham, Newcastle, Crystal Palace, Brighton and Wolves have also reportedly monitored his development, along with Scottish duo Rangers and Celtic.
