Arsene Wenger considering swoop for Amiens’ France Under-21 prospect Tanguy Ndombele
Arsenal boss homing in on Paris-born Lyon midfielder who has shone this season on loan from Ligue 1 rivals Amiens
ARSENAL are considering a summer move for France Under-21 prospect Tanguy Ndombele.
The Lyon midfielder has shone during his season on loan from Ligue 1 rivals Amiens.
He is rated at £14million.
Paris-born Ndombele has made 37 appearances, scoring once, to help the Stade Gerland club go fourth in the table and reach the Europa League's last 16.
The 21-year-old has been dubbed one of the French league's most promising talents, and is tipped to break into Les Bleus' senior side.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger raided Lyon last year, paying £52m for striker Alexandre Lacazette.
