Arsenal are heavily scouting Rennes’ Ismaila Sarr as they look to steal a march on their Premier League rivals in the race for the 20 years old’s signature.

Sarr caught the eyes of top European sides with his performances at the World Cup as he starred in their group stage match against Poland.

Last week he reminded the world of just how skilful he was by scoring a goal of the year contender in their Europa League match.

He has been tracked by some of Europe’s best clubs so far and rejected the chance to join Barcelona last summer because he was not guaranteed playing time.

He has been compared to Barcelona’s Ousmane Dembele a player who also came through the ranks at Rennes, but he is set to cost his next employers more than Dembele initially cost Borussia Dortmund.

According to reports, he is currently valued at £50 million and his agent claims that they have received enquiries from the top teams from England, Spain, and Germany.

Manchester United have suffered a blow in their bid to sign Alex Sandro from Juventus as PSG are now considering making a move for the former FC Porto star as well.

Sandro has been on the radar of Manchester United for the past two summers and came close to joining them in the summer of 2017, however, Juventus fought hard to keep hold of him.

It is believed that the Old Ladies are ready to cash in on him now, but Manchester United are no longer the firm favourites.

Reports from Italy claim that PSG who signed Juan Bernat from Bayern Munich this summer are also interested now and the French champions are prepared to outbid the Red Devils.

Luke Shaw is the only recognisable natural left back at Manchester United at the moment, and although the English man has been impressive so far, Jose Mourinho wants to bring competition to that part of his team.

The next three months could be Paul Pogba’s last as a Manchester United player after his latest falling out with Jose Mourinho.

The French man’s relationship with the former Chelsea boss has hit rock bottom after the Portuguese manager told reporters that Pogba would never captain Manchester United again.

This comes after the World Cup winner appears to question Mourinho’s tactics after their match against Wolves at the weekend.

Pogba said: “When we are at home we should attack, attack, attack.

That’s Old Trafford. We are here to attack.

“I think teams are scared when they see Man United attacking and attacking. That was our mistake today.”

When the France star was then asked what is stopping the team from attacking more, he replied: “I can’t tell you because I’m a player. It’s not me.”

This latest episode is reportedly going to end with Pogba getting his long-desired move to Barcelona. The Catalans were keen to sign the World Cup winner over the summer and even offered 50 million pounds plus two players for his signature, but the Red Devils rejected their offer.
