Arsenal target, Yves Bissouma has dropped a hint on his immediate future and seems to have clarified he is not leaving Brighton this summer.
Arsenal and Liverpool have been linked with a move for him through much of this transfer window.
The Malian has proven to be one of the finest midfielders in the Premier League for some time now.
His development since he moved to Brighton from Lille in 2018 has been impressive and has caught the attention of the Gunners.
Arsenal was linked with a move for him before the end of last season, but they signed Albert Sambi Lokonga first in this transfer window.
The links to Bissouma still haven’t completely died as the Gunners struggle for form at the start of this campaign.
He is a player who can make them better if he moved to the Emirates, but he seems to have ruled out a move away from the South coast in his latest post on Instagram.
After Brighton’s loss to Everton this weekend, he took to Instagram to send a message to his club’s fans and in a line that suggests he is staying, he claimed he is focused on their next match.
He posted: “I find it hard to digest this defeat by what we wanted to win our third game in a row for a great club with incredible fans but unfortunately as we say in football nothing is planned in advance but the best is yet to come focus for next one.”
Think we need another CB, probably for the best.
He would have made a good addition to our team
It’s a bit late now trying to sign him, should have been done months ago, unless it’s all just conjecture and we were never in for him. With all the rumours flying around it’s hard to know which ones are genuine.
Every effort ought to have been made to replace Xhaka with Bissouma who is a vastly superior player, but our Management decided otherwise.A decision which could well cost Arteta and Edu their jobs.With a player like Saliba in the Bank and ready to go, our priority should have been to add pace and power to our midfield.It’s not rocket science but clear to most people with a football brain.Let’s not forget we also Mavroponas out on loan and he has the physicality we need at CB.
Yes I agree, we have two good centre backs out on loan, we didn’t need to splash 50 million on Ben White, and we defo needed to replace xhaka🥵it was an absolute shambles of a transfer window, the money we wasted!!
