A number of Arsenal fans have taken to Twitter to discuss the latest reports linking the Gunners with Manor Solomon.

The Shakhtar Donetsk winger has told that he’s in ongoing talks with several Premier League clubs and admits that a summer move is a “realistic option”.

In January, reported that Solomon was “highly interested” in a move to the Emirates Stadium.

And now, the same outlet that Pini Zahavi, who has been tasked with helping the 21-year-old find a Premier League club, has been in touch with Arsenal technical director Edu.

Zahavi reportedly offered the Israel international to the Gunners’ former head of football Raul Sanllehi in May last year before the Spaniard left the club a few months later.

Solomon has become a key player for Shakhtar, who impressed in the Champions League group stages this season before dropping down to the Europa League.

The skilful winger scored in both group stage matches against Real Madrid, while in the previous season he netted against Manchester City.

Solomon predominately plays on the left wing for Shakhtar but has also been used on the opposite flank and in the No.10 role behind the striker.

Needless to say, plenty of Arsenal fans have welcomed the reported developments:

Would absolutely love this. So talented. Two-footed, highly technical. Reminds me a bit of Nasri…
