Arsenal have been linked with a summer move for Lens forward Rayan Fofana. The report comes from Sportsboom and was later shared by TeamTalk.

The Gunners are shaping their transfer plans for next season. Adding more strength in attack is one of their clear goals.

Fofana has caught attention with his displays in Ligue 1. Several top European sides are now keeping a close watch on him, including Arsenal.

Lens may be open to selling the young striker in the next transfer window. The reported asking price stands at around £39.3 million.

Arsenal step up interest

As per the report, Arsenal are believed to be leading the chase for the Lens attacker. Chelsea are also strongly in the picture for his signature.

The forward has earned praise for his calm finishing in front of goal. His sharp movement and raw pace often trouble defenders.

Fofana has shown that he can stretch back lines with ease. He also works hard off the ball to create space for teammates.

Arsenal view him as a player who can improve their squad depth. He could provide solid cover and competition for Viktor Gyökeres.
