Arsenal to rekindle Carrasco interest?

Arsenal could revive their chase for Atletico Madrid attacker Yannick Ferreira Carrasco. The Gunners are looking at possible alternatives after top target Henrikh Mkhitaryan stated his ambition to join Manchester United.

Italian football journalist Emanuele Giulianelli says the the Gunners might pursue the Belgian international, should Borussia Dortmund star Mkhitaryan make his way to Old Trafford.

"If Mkhitaryan joins Manchester United it [Carrasco to Arsenal could come back as a likely move," he told the Sport Review.

Carassco made 43 appearances for Atleti following his move from AS Monaco last summer.

The 22-year-old is currently part of the Belgian side that have reached the knock-out stages of Euro 2016 in France.
