Arsenal eyeing Toulouse goalkeeper Alban Lafont

Arsenal are eyeing Toulouse goalkeeper Alban Lafont.

Le 10 Sport says Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is keen on the French U20 star.

With David Ospina linked with a number of clubs and Petr Cech's form wobbling last season, Wenger will need a replacement soon.

Cech, 35, endured arguably the worst season of his career last term and found himself dropped during a crucial part of the season in February and March.

Lafont, who made his first-team debut at just 16 in 2015, kept 11 clean sheets last season.

The Toulouse stopper is just 18 but has already racked up more than 60 appearances in two impressive seasons for the Ligue 1 club.
