Boufal representatives to meet with Arsenal, Chelsea, Southampton

Sofia Boufal's representatives are set to meet with a trio of Premier League clubs this week.

According to The Guardian, agents of the Lille attacking midfielder will hold talks with Arsenal, Chelsea and Southampton as the look stop strike a lucrative deal for the player.

The Gunners have been credited with a strong interest in the 22-year-old but it is understood that both the Blues and Saints are keener than the North Londoners.

Antonio Conte has given Chelsea the go-ahead to sign Boufal while likely new Southampton boss Claude Puel knows the player well from his time in France's Ligue 1 with Nice.

It is believed that the Paris-born Morocco international would cost any interested clubs €30million (£24.9m).
