Arsenal Rumour Mill Continues With Latest Link Suggesting Keita Balde Is on Gunners Radar

Arsenal are interested in striking a deal with Monaco for Senegalese international Keita Balde, according to a report in France.

Balde joined the French side from Lazio for €30m in 2017 but has struggled to settle in Ligue 1, being farmed out on loan to Inter last season, where he scored five times in 24 appearances.

The Nerazzurri opted against activating an option to make the move permanent, citing the agreed €34m price in his loan contract as too expensive.

Monaco are keen to sell, however, and are keen to resolve his future at the conclusion of this summer's African Cup of Nations.
