Arsenal Transfer News – Leicester City’s Timothy Castagne is a backup option for Mikel Arteta
Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri reports that Arsenal is making a move for fullback Timothy Castagne. The player is seen as an alternative target to Real Valladolid’s Ivan Fresneda, who looks likely to join Borussia Dortmund. Castagne was recently relegated with Leicester City in the Premier League, which could allow Arsenal to sign the player for relatively cheap. Tavolieri believes that a deal for Castagne could escalate very quickly.

Montpellier’s president, Laurent Nicollin, revealed on the 100% Paillade podcast (via GFFN) that “4 or 5 big clubs” are talking to the agent of Elye Wahi. He further stated that “We know that he likes Arsenal a lot.” The 20-year-old striker enjoyed a strong Ligue 1 campaign, netting 19 goals in 33 matches as well as picking up six assists along the way. Montpellier finished comfortably in mid-table this season and may look to cash in on the player who has just two years left on his current contract.
