Arsenal are set to go toe-to-toe with Chelsea for the signing of FC Sion striker Moussa Konate as the Gunners look to bolster their attacking line.
That’s according to Calciomercato (via Will Giles of Metro), which reported that the prolific Senegalese frontman will be the subject of a January bidding war between the London duo.
Arsenal’s lack of spending over the summer got fans a little hot under the collar, with the club’s striker shortage a particular concern of the Emirates Stadium faithful.
Torrential transfer window rumours linking the Gunners with Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema again amounted to nothing, yet Konate looks like another star worthy of the famous red shirt.
