Lille target Rekik makes clear Arsenal ambitions

Omar Rekik has intimated he sees his future with Arsenal amid interest from Lille.

LOSC view Rekik as a player who could be a future star for the team. However, they will face resistance from both the club and player who is very happy with how the club views him.

Rekik spoke recently about the potential for him to be worth quite the transfer fee in the future. However, pointed out that Arsenal are 'serious' about him.

"Of course, it would be a dream to be worth €60million (£51 million) or even more," he said in an interview with BILD. "Because that would mean that I've made great athletic development. But sporting success is more valuable to me.

"I don't have a specific goal. If Arsenal had waited a few months, they would have got me without a transfer fee. Now they have spent so much money on me. I want to repay that with performance. The club is serious about me, and I'm grateful for that."
