Arsenal prepare Bradley Barcola bid with PSG winger among key targets

Arsenal are looking into the necessary details before lodging a bid for Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola .

The 23-year-old has continued his sparkling form from last season for the European champions after scoring on his World Cup debut in France ’s 3-1 over Senegal .

Barcola has become one of the game’s brightest stars, with Liverpool also thought to have tracked his progress, with Andoni Iraola ’s side thought to be in the market for two wide forwards this summer.

However, Mikel Arteta ’s main priority this summer is to elevate the level of the attack and Barcola has now been highlighted as a target that could bring an upgrade to the starting line-up, as well as representing a realistic deal.

PSG’s preference would be to keep the attacker but they are also open to reshaping the attack themselves.

That’s because they hold an interest in two existing Arsenal targets in Atletico Madrid and Argentina striker Julian Alvarez and Aston Villa and England midfielder Morgan Rogers .

There is yet a possibility that Arsenal buy both Rogers and an attacker, such as Barcola, which underlines Arteta’s insistence on going to the next level, despite winning the Premier League and reaching the Champions League final, only to lose to Barcola’s PSG.

The French winger was impressive in New Jersey with Les Bleus proving to slick in attack for Senegal during a sizzling second half. His delightful chipped finish doubled France’s lead and split Kylian Mbappe ’s brace in the Group I victory.
