Arsenal are eyeing AS Monaco midfielder Youssef Ait Bennasser.

Calciomercato.com says Arsenal are currently showing the strongest interest in acquiring Ait Bennasser.

This term the 22-year-old Morocco international has been one of few bright sparks for Monaco, who are coached by Arsenal legend Thierry Henry.

And, with manager Unai Emery an admirer since he was Sevilla gaffer, Ait Bennasser is on Arsenal's wish list.

Monaco could apparently sanction a loan deal for the former Nancy and Caen ace.

Serie A sides AC Milan and Genoa are said to have asked Monaco about Ait Bennasser as well.

And Milan chief Leonardo was quoted a £9m (€10m) valuation for the France-born midfielder.
