When Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City are linked with a player, you might as well link Liverpool and Arsenal, right?
According to the French website, both Liverpool and Arsenal have ‘concretely approached’ the Ligue 1 side this winter over a potential transfer, which is seemingly more than the other three have done.
However, the principality club are reported to have told the Premier League pair that a deal for their star defensive midfielder this winter wasn’t on the cards.
That the pair have been linked with a move for the 22-year-old isn’t really a surprise, considering Liverpool are apparently after Atalanta’s Franck Kessié, who plays in a similar position, while Arsenal… well, let’s just say Arsenal and defensive midfielders is a guaranteed story at some stage in any transfer window.
Even the signing of Granit Xhaka doesn’t seem to have changed that.
