Brighton midfielder Yves Bissouma has encouraged Arsenal transfer rumours online.

The Mali international has long been on the Gunners' radar as a result of his stellar showings in the middle of the park for the Seagulls and his links with the North Londoners are not likely to end anytime soon. This is because Bissouma has openly shared posts calling for him move to the Emirates to his own Instagram profile.

Bissouma re-posted a short clip of one of his own performances during the Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Congo earlier this week, alongside a caption posted by the original uploader that read: "For me, I think that he [Bissouma] and [Youri] Tielemans should be our priority at midfield, we must get Yves Bissouma at all costs @arsenal."

The Brighton man did not stop at one, re-sharing another post from the same user who went under the display name of "1rafc" - the second story reading: "I've been following up on Bissouma and I think he's the one to replace Partey long-term, he's just 25."
