Arsenal target Alban Lafont: I'd like to play for a 5-star club

Toulouse goalkeeper Alban Lafont is staying grounded over interest from Arsenal.

Lafont, 17, is TFC's outright No1 and being watched by the Gunners this season.

Asked about the interest, the teen stated: "I would like to play later in a five-star club. But I keep my feet on the ground. When one thinks only of money, one is less efficient on the ground.

"I keep my objectives in mind. I know where I want to go and it goes through TFC. There are not many other clubs that would have given a chance to a keeper of my age.

"I will therefore always be grateful."

Lafont has a deal with TFC until 2020.
