Arsenal boss eyeing move for French star

Arsenal are reportedly tracking the progress of yet another French defender, according to The Mail.

AS Monaco defender Layvin Kurzawa played an instrumental role as the Prinicipality outfit finished runners-up to Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1 last season.

The Mail reports that the Gunners boss Arsene Wenger had sent chief scout Gilles Grimandi to keep a close eye on the talented full-back, who is also believed to be on the radar of Bayern Munich and Manchester City.

Monaco are believed to be open to the player's sale for a fee of around £15m in the upcoming transfer window.

Arsenal are currently sixth in the Premier League.
