Arsenal and Leicester City set to lock horns over Yves Bissouma

Arsenal are reportedly ready to lock horns with Leicester City over the signature of Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Yves Bissouma, according to The Mirror.

The 24-year-old has been with the Seagulls since 2018, but there are rumours that the midfielder could join a bigger club this summer.

Arsenal have already made contact with Bissouma’s entourage, and they are considering partnering him with Thomas Partey.

The Mali international is said to be tempted, given he was a boyhood fan of the club, but Leicester City are hoping to lure him with Champions League football.

The Foxes see Bissouma as a potential long-term partner for Wilfred Ndidi, as the East Midlands outfit aim to make more progress in the league.

Bissouma is reportedly valued at around £30m.
