Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder Djibril Sow is the latest player being linked with a summer move to Arsenal.
The North London side have made strengthening midfield one of their transfer priorities when the window opens again, and Sow is one of the options on their list, although Newcastle and Nottingham Forest are also keeping tabs on his situation.
The 26 year old still has a year left on his contract, but, having made it clear to them that he does not intend to renew it, they are determined to cash in on him whilst he still has some value to them.
Sow already has links to the Gunners through his international captain Granit Xhaka, of whom he is a big admirer.
Primarily defensively minded, Sow, who has 36 caps for Switzerland, has played 151 games for Frankfurt, scoring seven goals and providing 13 assists.

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.
