Arsenal boss Wenger targets Toulouse keeper Alban Lafont

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is keen on talented Toulouse goalkeeper Alban Lafont.

L'Equipe says Wenger sees the teen as a long-term successor for his Gunners No1 Petr Cech.

Lafont made his TFC debut last year at 16 and is now the club' first-choice.

Toulouse are currently in advanced negotiations with Lafont over a new deal, but that won't put off Wenger.

The 17 year-old is a France U18 international and holds the record for being the youngest player ever to play in Ligue 1.
