Arsenal are reportedly expressing a strong interest in Harold Moukoudi, with Le Havre resigned to losing the highly-rated defender.
Sead Kolasinac and Alexandre Lacazette arrived at the Emirates this summer but the north London giants are already looking ahead to the January transfer window and Arsene Wenger is keeping tabs on several targets.
According to The Sun, Moukoudi is firmly on Arsenal’s radar and the Gunners could wrap up a deal in the new year as Le Havre are ready to listen to offers for the 19-year-old centre-back.
Both Paul Pogba and Dimitri Payet have risen through the ranks at the French outfit in recent years and the club have high hopes for Moukoudi.
The promising teenager has made three appearances for France’s Under-18 side.
Wenger is scouring the market for Per Mertesacker’s long-term replacement at Arsenal, with the German set to hang up the boots at the end of the season.
Nice, Bordeaux and Red Bull Leipzig are also understood to be keen on Moukoudi.
