Arsenal are reportedly aiming to land the signature of Odilon Kossounou from Club Brugge during the summer transfer window, according to The Mirror.

The Gunners are interested in a swoop to sign the Ivory Coast international in the upcoming transfer window.

The north London outfit are keeping tabs on the 20-year-old midfielder following his impressive performances in the Belgian top flight this term.

Kossounou’s eye-catching form has earned a lot of interest from top clubs across Europe.

Club Brugge would look to secure a transfer fee somewhere in the region of £8.5m for the youngster.

Arsenal could face tough competition from Serie A outfit Inter Milan for the signature of the Ivorian.
