Arsenal are looking at two Ligue 1 starlets this summer, according to the Express.
French manager Wenger is looking to bring Clement Grenier and Serge Aurier to the Premier League this transfer window.
Grenier recently hinted that he could be leaving Lyon this summer, whilst away on international duty with France, saying: “We will see about my future after the internationals, during my vacation.”
The midfielder scored 7 goals for the Ligue 1 side last season, as Lyon finished 3rd in the league table. The 22-year-old is a strong dribbler and passer, and has been tipped to easily fit into Wenger’s system at the Emirates.
The French manager likened the midfielder to Samir Nasri, which suggested that the Gunners would bid for Grenier:
“His intelligence of play pleases me. He has interesting qualities. He reminds me of Nasri.” said Wenger.
Meanwhile, right-back Aurier could also be moving to the Emirates, after the Ivory Coast international ‘tweeted’ a picture of himself wearing an Arsenal shirt whilst on holiday.
The 20-year-old, who scored once for Toulouse last season, is being tipped as a replacement for current Gunners right-back Bacaray Sagna. The French defender has been heavily linked with a move away from the Emirates, with Monaco reportedly interested in the defender.
Would Grenier do well at Arsenal? Should Wenger sign Aurier?
