Arsenal eye bid for Lille sensation

Arsenal have become the latest side to be linked with a move for highly-rated Lille playmaker Sofiane Boufal.

The 22-year-old is said to have caught the eye of the likes of Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain through his impressive showing this season.

According to Shoot, the Gunners are said to be planning a £18.5m offer for the talented attacker, who is dubbed as 'the new Eden Hazard'.

It is also known that the player would relish the challenge of the Premier League, should an opportunity come by in the transfer window.

Boufal has notched five goals for Lille since his move from Angers last summer.
