BRIGHTON midfielder Yves Bissouma has seemingly issued a ‘come-and-get-me-plea’ to Arsenal after teasing a move to the Emirates.
The 25-year-old is a reported target for the Gunners following an impressive season at the Amex Stadium where he helped the Seagulls finish ninth.
Arsenal are long-term admirers of the Mali international having been heavily linked with a move for the player last year.
And the ex-Lille ace, who has one year left on his contract at the Amex Stadium, is believed to still be on Mikel Arteta‘s radar as he looks to bolster his midfield.
Leicester star Youri Tielemans is understood to be a key target, and Bissouma has fuelled speculation that both could be making the move to North London.
Bissouma starred in Mali’s 4-0 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Congo on Saturday where he chipped in with two assists.

Posting a clip of Bissouma in action, one fan said: “For me, I think he and Tielemans should be our priority at midfield, we must get [Bissouma] at all cost [Arsenal].”
Bissouma subsequently shared the upload on his own Instagram story.
He then followed that up by re-posting another comment from the same supporter.
It read: “I’ve been following up on Bissouma and I think he’s the one to replace Partey long-term, he’s just 25.”

His social media activity has left Arsenal fans dreaming of a potential transfer.
One supporter tweeted: “Arsenal please buy this guy. He will complete our midfield. He is asking to come.”
Another messaged: “He’s begging to play for Mikel Arteta’s red and white army.”
A third added: “Another summer where Bissouma is on his knees to join us. Sort it out Arsenal.”
This user then remarked: “This guy is literally begging for the move at this point.”
Meanwhile one simply stated: “If we sign Bissouma I’ll cry.”
Another said: “This would be a dream signing.”
