Le Havre centre back Harold Moukoudi is being tracked by Arsenal.

The Daily Mail says the 19-year-old centre back has been capped by France at U18 level and is tipped to become the latest star to emerge from the club's academy following on from the likes of Paul Pogba and Dimitri Payet.

Le Havre are aware of Premier League interest and are willing to sell in January on condition he can be loaned back to help them gain promotion into the top flight.

Arsene Wenger is looking to bolster his defensive options with club captain Per Mertesacker retiring at the end of the season.

Arsenal's interest in Moukoudi comes ahead of their Premier League clash with West Brom on Monday night at the Emirates Stadium.
