Arsenal have made contact with Yves Bissouma’s agent (Picture: Getty)Arsenal are firmly in the race to sign Brighton star Yves Bissouma and have reportedly approached the midfielder’s agent to discuss a possible move to the Emirates. Liverpool were thought to be in pole position for Bissouma’s signature but, according to Football.London, the Mali international would favour a switch to Arsenal if he were to leave the Seagulls for an English rival. However, Bissouma is unlikely to complete a switch to north London this January given Arsenal are currently prioritising a move for a more creative and attack-minded midfielder. ‘For all managers, the quicker you do the business the better because it buys you time,’ the Spaniard said at a recent press conference.
