Arsenal set to miss out on Malang Sarr transfer with defender ‘in talks with Serie A and Bundesliga sides’
ARSENAL have been dealt a major blow in their pursuit of Malang Sarr with the player reportedly being eyed up by clubs in Germany and Italy.
The 21-year-old is available on a free transfer after failing to extend his contract at French outfit Nice, leading to a host of teams vying to secure his signature.
It was reported earlier in the month how the Gunners had made an approach to sign the centre-back.

Mikel Arteta is known to be desperate to bring in a central defender to the Emirates at the end of the season.
With Arsenal believed to have limited funds available in the upcoming transfer window, Sarr's availability on a free was seen as a perfect situation.
But SunSport exclusively revealed last week that the North Londoners look set to miss out on landing him as they delayed making a move to move for the player.
Romano was asked by one fan on any updates on the futures of Sarr as well as fellow Arsenal target Dayoy Upamecano.

But it was bad news on both front for the Gunners, as he said: "No updates abt (sic) Upamecano mate.
"And Malang Sarr is in talks with Bundesliga/Serie A clubs."
Despite only turning 21 in January, Sarr has already featured in 119 matches in all competitions.
