Arsenal are yet to start concrete negotiations for PSV Eindhoven winger Johan Bakayoko, Fabrizio Romano has exclusively revealed to GIVEMESPORT.
The Gunners are still evaluating their options as Bakayoko is being eyed by several clubs this summer. Romano suggests the 21-year-old is one of the most talented wingers available on the market.
Bakayoko, who is currently focused on Euro 2024 with Belgium and has been called “incredible” by teammate Romelu Lukaku, is anticipating a busy summer ahead after another promising season in the Eredivisie.
Liverpool have shown interest in the right-winger previously – their new boss Arne Slot knows Bakayoko well from his time in the Netherlands.
The 21-year-old is reportedly available for £43 million this summer and faces interest from the Premier League for a second consecutive year.
Speaking to the media previously, he revealed that ex-Burnley manager Vincent Kompany called him and ‘explained his vision’ last summer, before the Clarets’ return to the Premier League.
Bakayoko, who made his first-team debut for PSV in 2022, is recognised as one of the brightest Belgian talents alongside the likes of Jeremy Doku and Lois Openda.
However, Romano suggests it is ‘still early’ to speculate about his possible move to Arsenal this summer – the Gunners are taking their time before deciding whether they want to bring in a new wide-forward alongside the likes of Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, and Leandro Trossard.
