Arsenal transfer news: Alexis Claude-Maurice wants move… but there’s a catch

Arsenal’s Premier League rivals Newcastle, West Ham and Brighton are all believed to be keeping an eye on Claude-Maurice.

Former Arsenal forward Jeremie Aliadiere believes Arsenal should risk a move for Claude-Maurice.
"For the money that we talk about I think he'll make it,” Aliadiere said.
