Manchester United and City have also tracked the 18-year-old’s progress and Paris Saint-Germain also have him on their hitlist.

Wenger said: “He’s a player who when he gets up in the morning, he can choose where he wants to go.

“There’s not many with that kind of luck at 18 years of age.

“All of Europe has the red carpet rolled out for him.

“I believe nobody can say he is not interested in a player of that calibre because he’s got such a rare and immense quality at 18 years of age. All the clubs are interested in him.”

Wenger has splashed the cash himself on club-record signing Alexandre Lacazette for £52.6million from Lyon, with Sead Kolasinac arriving on a free transfer from Schalke.
