Arsenal boss Unai Emery identifies new winger target - and he wants to move this summer
ARSENAL boss Unai Emery is looking to move fast in the transfer window, and has identified a new winger target if deals for Ryan Fraser and Yannick Carrasco fall through.
Arsenal have been watching Balde for some time, it said, but there hasn’t been any movement on their part as yet.
If Arsenal were to make a move for the forward, they’ll have to spend a large portion of their transfer budget.
Monaco have slapped a £30m (€34m) price tag on Balde's head - seemingly enough to dissuade Inter from trying to sign him permanently.
Balde is currently on international duty with Senegal for the African Cup of Nations.

He made 24 appearances for Inter in Serie A last season, scoring five goals, and making three assists.
He also featured four times in the Champions League, including an 18-minute cameo against Tottenham at the San Siro, and a seven-minute spell at Wembley.
Emery may attempt a move for the Monaco winger if other deals for wingers fail to materialise.
