A huge rumour is quickly gathering momentum on Tuesday morning: Arsenal are about to sign 25-year-old Toulouse striker Wissam Ben Yedder.
The source of the story is French media outlet Canal+.
In truth, the picture is slightly more complicated, as Canal+ note that Sevilla are also in the running for the attacker. Sevilla are looking for a new forward as Kevin Gameiro continues to be tipped to leave the club the summer.
Who is Ben Yedder?
The 25-year-old was an amateur and futsal player before heading to Toulouse in 2010.
Since joining the Ligue 1 club, he’s hit 70 goals in his last four seasons in France.
Despite Toulouse’s struggles last season, as they just beat the drop, Ben Yedder found the net 23 times to again put himself in the shop window.
Toulouse are under pressure to sell the forward this summer, as he’s out of contract in 2017.
Ben Yedder has played three times for France’s Under-21s.
West Ham had been thought to be closing in on Ben Yedder in recent times too.
