Rennes’ teen sensation Desire Doue is rated a target for Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta – as well as Manchester United.
The Gunners will be one of the sides that are expected to do alot of transfer business over the summer window as Mikel Arteta will be keen to keep on adding to the squad – and there has been some big names linked.
However – ARSENAL have a history of signing some of the best young talent around in the game – and Doue is reportedly a player that the Arsenal coaching staff have been keeping an eye on over the past 12 months.
Sport Zone say Arsenal have held “initial contacts” with the French midfielder’s representatives after a season in which he has notched four goals and four assists in 31 Ligue 1 games.
Team-mate Baptiste Santamaria reckons the Under-23 international already dreams of joining a European giant and is the best young player he’s ever seen.
Santamaria said: “He’s a very talented player with a great sense of football. But he’s still young.
“He’s a player who aspires to go to the biggest clubs.
When he becomes more consistent, he’ll be unplayable. For his age, he’s the most gifted youngster I’ve seen in my career.”

Look, we don not know much about Doue and what he could bring to Arsenal in the future – but we are sure that the ARSENAL coaching staff have done their homework on the lad and believe he may be good enough for a move to the Emirates.
It will be a massive move for the lad too – and if a move is done – it will probably be a dream come true to sign for a club like Arsenal.
