Arsenal are reportedly eyeing Fulham’s Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa as a transfer target this summer – and some Gunners fans on Twitter are positive about the speculation.

The reports that Arsenal are among the clubs monitoring the 25-year-old’s situation after Fulham’s relegation from the Premier League was confirmed earlier this week.

It is understood that the Cameroon international may now be sold as Fulham prepare for the Championship, but they’ll want around £20million to part ways with him.

The report adds that Aston Villa and Everton are two more clubs who are looking at the midfielder.

Additionally, he’s viewed as someone that Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta wants to play next to Thomas Partey in a double defensive midfield pivot at the Emirates Stadium.

A selection of Arsenal supporters on social media believe the Fulham powerhouse could be a good solution for them.

He’s an all-action defensive midfielder with great athleticism and work rate, which is why he would bring some extra bite to the Gunners XI if he joined.

Arteta’s side have looked a little soft in certain fixtures throughout the season, and that’s why ultimately it’s been a very poor one for them.

Despite having another relegation on his CV, the £20million-rated enforcer has done enough to attract intention from the north London club, who need a reshape of their squad desperately to start competing at the top again.
