Arsenal firm up interest in CSKA Moscow winger Golovin

Arsenal are firming up their interest in CSKA Moscow winger Aleksandr Golovin.

The Daily Mail says after impressing during Russia's opening World Cup clash against Saudi Arabia, Golovin has drawn interest from Arsenal among other European clubs.

The 22-year-old scored in his country's 5-0 thrashing of Saudi, which has left current club CSKA Moscow sweating over his future.

Arsenal face competition, however, as Juventus are also monitoring Golovin's performances in Russia.

Former Gunners star Alex Hleb said last season: “In my opinion, he has enough talent to go to Arsenal.

"But whether he will be entrenched there - this is another question. But to join Arsenal, there are chances."
