Report: Arsenal Interested in Summer Move for Atletico Madrid's Yannick Carrasco

Arsenal are reportedly interested in signing Yannick Carrasco from Atletico Madrid this summer.

According to Mundo Deportivo (h/t The Sun's Livvi Sefton), manager Arsene Wenger has tracked the Belgium international for some time and is prepared to splash out £44 million for his services this summer, albeit that only amounts to half his buyout clause.

The Gunners have parted with Alexis Sanchez and Theo Walcott this month, while new arrival Henrikh Mkhitaryan is perhaps more suited to replace Mesut Ozil if he leaves at the expiration of his contract in the summer, rather than the other two.
