Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has sounded out a move for Auxerre striker Paul-Georges Ntep after injuries forced his hand in the January transfer window.
Wenger is keen to avoid a major outlay this month, preferring to do most of his business in the summer, but is in urgent need of attacking cover after Olivier Giroud, Nicklas Bendtner and Theo Walcott were all ruled out.
The Ligue 2 side are reportedly aware of the Gunners’ interest and have placed an £8m price on Ntep’s head but Wenger is confident of negotiating the deal down.
German side Borussia Moenchengladbach are also interested in the 21-year-old though and are currently favourites to land the France Under-21 star.
Social media starting buzzing on Saturday night after Ntep, 21-year-old, posted a picture on Instagram showing him heading to London on the Eurostar.
