Arsenal have expressed interest in Rennes winger Ismaila Sarr.

After their Europa League first-leg defeat, the Arsenal board held talks with their Rennes counterparts regarding the availability of winger Sarr.

Sarr scored his side's third goal of the night with a fine diving header at the back post to cap a memorable performance.

That was the 21-year-old's fourth European goal of the season with his form leading to interest from across Europe.

Everton have been linked with the Senegalese star but it appears Arsenal are also in the mix.

Goal France reports the Gunners are big admirers and held 'informal' preliminary talks after the 3-1 setback last week.
