Arsenal are reportedly keen on landing the signature of Saint-Etienne striker Djylian N’Guessan in future transfer windows.

The Gunners have already strengthened their frontline with the likes of Viktor Gyokeres, Noni Madueke and Eberechi Eze this summer.

They are also focused on bolstering their academy ranks, and Caught Offside claim that they are expected to make a move for N’Guessan.

The 17-year-old is primarily a centre-forward, but he has also played as a left or right-sided winger during his development phase.

N’Guessan made a handful number of appearances for Saint-Etienne in Ligue 1 last season, but has not featured since their relegation.

He has still turned up for the France Under-20 squad and could be a player to watch out for. Arsenal can’t sign him until next summer.

Premier League clubs can’t register players under the age of 18 due to Brexit rules. N’Guessan does not turn 18 until August 30 next year.

Aside from Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham are keeping tabs on him.
