Arsenal are among the clubs who have been scouting Toulouse midfielder Farès Chaìbi.
It is reported they had representatives in the stand to watch Chaìbi play against Strasbourg before the international break, with Sevilla among the other clubs tracking his progress.
Although born in France, Chaìbi qualifies to play for Algeria through his parents and his form has not gone unnoticed by them either, and they are considering calling him up for the national team.
Still just 19 years old, Chaìbi. Has much of the versatility that Mikel Arteta values in a player, and can play in a multitude of positions – midfield, wing and even as a forward. He already has 2 goals and four assists to his name this season, despite only making his professional debut against Nice back in Nice.
He also has the advantage of being cheaper than some of the other players the Dunners are reported to be tracking.

He loves all sports but football is his abiding passion, and he still has dreams every now and then about scoring the winning goal in a Wembley Cup Final, even though his playing days are long gone. He follows most major leagues, across Europe at least, and has a favoured team in each. When he’s not watching, listening, reading or downloading podcasts about football, he spend his time worrying about his beloved Arsenal.
