Juventus star Mario Lemina alerts Arsene Wenger as he says, 'Arsenal? Of course those links flatter me'

Juventus' Gabon international central midfielder Mario Lemina has admitted that he is flattered by transfer rumours linking him with a move to the Premier League with Arsenal.

The 23-year-old has found it difficult to become a regular starter in Serie A since his £8.3million transfer from Marseille on August 31, 2015, starting just 15 Scudetto games in two campaigns with the Bianconeri.

Lemina is growing increasingly frustrated with limited game time at the Old Lady and is likely to leave the club in the summer window, with a transfer abroad emerging as a distinct probability.

'My objective is to move up the ladder - if I have to leave Juve I'd like an experience with a club abroad,' Lemina told RAC1.
