Arsenal to bid for Belgian youngster

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is to make a bid for impressive defender Jordan Lukaku. The Belgian international was a member of the country's Euro 2016 squad in France but his tournament had been cut short after a surprise defeat to Wales.

Jordan Lukaku is the younger brother of Everton forward Romelu, who has also been linked with a transfer to the Emirates in recent months.

According to a report from Belgium, Arsenal will be making a bid of around 7.35 million euros to sign the full back from Oostende.

Jordan is desperate to make the step up to the Premier League and has also been scouted by West Bromwich Albion as well as Crystal Palace.

Arsenal want to sign Lukaku as a replacement for Carl Jenkinson, who could be headed for Crystal Palace in the coming weeks.
