Arsenal eyeing Lille winger Edon Zhegrova

Arsenal are eyeing Lille winger Edon Zhegrova.

The Gunners are looking at signing the Kosovo international in a deal worth around £11million as they look to bolster their squad to improve their chances in the Premier League next season, says the Sunday Mirror.

This is despite Zhegrova only joining Ligue 1 side Lille for £5.8million from Swiss side FC Basel during the January transfer window.

The midfielder, who typically plays on the right side, could now be heading for north London if boss Mikel Arteta gets his way.

Arsenal seem to have a decent relationship with Lille having purchased both Nicolas Pepe and Gabriel Magalhaes from the Ligue 1 outfit in recent transfer windows.

Zhegrova started his career at Genk before he moved to Basel originally on loan in 2019 before making it a permanent switch a year later.
