Man United and England star Alessia Russo in talks over Arsenal switch, months after Gunners lodged a WORLD RECORD bid... with Jonas Eidevall eager to add firepower for a WSL title charge next season

Manchester United and England star Alessia Russo could command a world record fee after instigating talks with Arsenal.

Marc Skinner's side finished second in the WSL, their best ever finish, with Russo's performances helping the side to reach the FA Cup final as well.

Now with Russo named in the 23-player England squad to compete in this summer's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, she is also scouting the interest of a top-flight rival.

Arsenal have opened talks with Russo's agent to try and bring the 24-year-old star to London, according to the Manchester Evening News.
