Arsenal quoted £61m to sign Matteo Bahoya

Arsenal will reportedly need to pay around £61 million to prise away Matteo Bahoya from Eintracht Frankfurt next summer.

The Gunners are keen on strengthening their left-back department and they prefer to land a young recruit with huge potential.

Bahoya has now been linked with the north London giants via Florian Plettenberg. Arsenal have been watching him in action.

His statistics are not particularly impressive with just three goals and an assist from 18 appearances in all competitions this campaign.

Despite this, Arsenal are keeping a close eye on his progress and could be prepared to make a serious move for him next summer.

Eintracht are fairly relaxed over the player's situation and they are unlikely to permit his sale for anything less than £61 million.

There is no interest from anywhere else at the moment. If Arsenal were to sign a left winger next summer, Leandro Trossard is likely to leave.

The Belgian's current deal expires at the end of next season.
