​Arsenal fret as Man Utd, Liverpool join race for Pape Gueye

Arsenal are holding talks to sign Le Havre's Pape Gueye in the summer.

But they are not the only club interested in the midfielder, per French football expert Julien Laurens.

The player is said to be a revelation in terms of his ability at his age, and the 21-year-old is attracting interest from many clubs.

Laurens spoke about Gueye on ESPN FC recently and said: "I love him! Absolutely love him. He's the revelation of Ligue 2, the French second division, at Le Havre.

"We know how good Le Havre have been as an academy, we just talked about Paul Pogba who is probably the best prospect that they had in the academy.

"Pape Gueye has been fantastic in midfield this season, he's only 21 years of age so he's very young, people will have to be patient with him.

"But what he's shown so far in the second division, extraordinary qualities, he's fantastic at pretty much everything.

"Because his contract at Le Havre runs out in June 2021, I think they will have to sell him this summer. He will have only one year left on his contract.

"There's already a lot of clubs that I know are keen on him and in contact with him and his agent and Le Havre as well.

"We're talking about Liverpool, we're talking about Arsenal, we're talking about Manchester United, Manchester City as well.

"They're all very keen on him and I think he's a big, big prospect for the future."
