Arsenal chase Axel Witsel

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has instructed his scouts to file another report on Standard Liege youngster Axel Witsel, and the 19 year old winger is keen on a move to the Premiership himself.

Standard Liege value the midfielder at £6 million, and he stands at over 6 feet tall. Witsel formed an excellent partnership with Steven Defour and Fellaini, now at Everton.

Axel Witsel quipped: “I have dreamt about playing for a big club since I was a kid and my love for Arsenal goes back a long way.

“I’d love to play in a more classy league.”
