Arsenal interested in signing Ansu Fati

Arsenal are reportedly keen on signing Barcelona forward Ansu Fati during the summer transfer window.

The Gunners bolstered their attack with Leandro Trossard in January but they are likely to invest further this summer.

A marquee player could be targeted by the hierarchy and La Vanguardia claim that the club are looking at Fati's situation.

The 20-year-old was dubbed as the new Lionel Messi when he made his debut, but has lost his way over the past two years.

Injuries hampered him in the last two seasons and he has now fallen below Gavi and Ferran Torres in the pecking order for the left-wing role.

It is now reported that Fati's agent Jorge Mendes has started speaking with clubs and Arsenal are one of those interested in the youngster.

Barcelona are not looking to sell him at the moment, but the situation could change in the coming months amid their dire financial status.

The Catalan giants will be forced to sell a high-profile player this summer and it is claimed that Fati could head for the exit door.
