Arsenal Set To Make Formal Bid For Talented Midfielder

 

Arsenal are preparing to make a formal bid for Ryan Fraser, claims The Independent, with Manchester United having ended their interest.

 

The highly-rated midfielder has been linked with a number of sides over recent weeks as he prepares to enter the final 12 months of his contract.

 

Manchester United are still keeping tabs on Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Adrien Rabiot, according to the Manchester Evening News.

 

The 24-year-old, who is available on a free transfer, has been linked to Real Madrid but the France international is believed to favour a move to the Premier League.

 

United view Rabiot as the ideal age and a potential long-term replacement for Nemanja Matic, but may be at a disadvantage in their pursuit due to lack of Champions League football next season.

 

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants Juan Mata, Marcos Rojo, Matteo Darmian and Romelu Lukaku to leave Manchester United this summer, according to the Mirror.

 

Ander Herrera and Antonio Valencia have already confirmed their exits from Old Trafford and Solskjaer wants more of his unwanted players to join them in order to make room for new signings.
