Alexis Claude-Maurice favours Arsenal move but 10 other clubs in contention
Wednesday 19 June 2019 08:27, UK
France U20 international Alexis Claude-Maurice wants to move to Arsenal but 10 other clubs are trying to sign the Lorient forward.
A source close to Claude-Maurice says Borussia Monchengladbach, RB Leipzig, Lyon, Lille, Monaco, Marseille, Sevilla, Brighton, Newcastle United, and West Ham all want him this summer.
There are unconfirmed reports that Arsenal made a £14m bid for Claude-Maurice on Saturday.
Lorient's owner has just returned from holiday and he will only sell Claude-Maurice to the highest bidder.
West Ham made a bid for the forward last month but it was rejected. They have since had a £29m bid for Uruguay striker Maxi Gomez accepted by Celta Vigo, according to Sky sources.
