Arsene Wenger is a keen admirer of the 21-year-old and has already tabled a bid of €35 million – which was rejected – for the youngster.  Monaco are desperate to hold on to some of their stars given Bernardo Silva has already been sold, while Tiemoue Bakayoko is on the verge of signing for Chelsea, and Benjamin Mendy and Kylian Mbappe both subject to major transfer speculation. Roma's opening offer of €23m could also be a sticking point, but the club are likely to raise their bid to closer match Leicester's valuation of the 26-year-old if Arsenal do not come calling.</blockquote>
