Liverpool, Arsenal interested in Malian midfielder

Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Yves Bissouma is reportedly on the radar of Arsenal and Liverpool ahead of the winter transfer window. 

The Mali international is presently in his third season with the Seagulls and he has amassed 66 appearances in all competitions for the club.

He has been in-and-out of the lineup in recent years, but has become more of a regular this term and has started in his nine appearances.

According to TalkSPORT, both the Gunners and Reds are monitoring his performances with a view to a possible move next year.

Gunners boss Mikel Arteta is reported to be an admirer of the midfielder, but the club are set to face competition from multiple clubs.

Liverpool are among those interested. Jurgen Klopp has earmarked Bissouma as a potential option to replace contract rebel Georginio Wijnaldum.

Wijnaldum has yet to agree to terms over a new contract and as things stand, he could leave on a free transfer at the end of the campaign.
