Arsenal and Man Utd on red alert as transfer target Wissam Ben Yedder reveals he wants to quit Monaco – The Sun

WISSAM BEN YEDDER is said to have told Monaco he wants to leave the club – putting Arsenal and Manchester United on red alert.

The 29-year-old striker scored 19 in 31 games this season, attracting attention across Europe.

But according to France Football, Ben Yedder has decided he wants to quit Monaco after just one season in the French top flight.

Liverpool, Manchester City and Tottenham are also thought to be checking on his availability this summer.

But Arsenal and United have registered most interest in the former Sevilla star, who was signed by Monaco for £37.1million last summer.

Arsenal face losing skipper Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the upcoming window, or the following season when his contract expires, and manager Mikel Arteta is already drawing up replacements.

Monaco are understood to value Ben Yedder at £40m.

The forward, who has eight caps for France, notched an impressive 70 goals from 138 games for Sevilla sparking interest from Barcelona.

He had previously told Onze Mundial: "Barcelona could have happened much earlier for me.

"Last summer they made contacts for me, they collected a lot of information about me and the same was true this winter, but the move did not happen.

"It shows I am doing a good job, but despite this interest I am totally focused on my performances with Monaco."
