Arsenal join race for Lorient midfielder Enzo Reale

Arsenal have entered the race to sign Lorient's young midfielder Enzo Reale. The 21-year-old midfielder has just broken into Les Merlus' first team and has impressed the Gunners' scout in France Gilles Grimandi.

Grimandi has sent a glowing report back to Arsene Wenger regarding the former Lyon midfielder Reale; and Arsenal's manager will now evaluate the player personally and is set to offer a trial to the youngster this month.


Reale joined Lorient from Lyon for around 1 million Euros back in 2011, and is now believed to be worth around 2.5 million Euros.


Reale has also attracted the interest of Rennes and Lille, whilst Premier League team Newcastle have also been monitoring the player.
