Arsenal have been extensively scouting PSV Eindhoven midfielder Ibrahim Sangare.
Arsenal considered Sangare when he was with Toulouse before his move to PSV.
Agent Jean Musampa told De Telegraaf: “He got an invitation from Arsenal. There they had three hundred pages with analysis and data from his game.
“Thomas Partey, however, was the first choice."
Sangaré could ultimately choose between Southampton and PSV.
"I thought he would choose the Premier League. But he also liked PSV," says Musampa. "He asked: 'Dad, what should I choose?'.
“He wanted to play football and not go to the Premier League at all costs. PSV always plays at the top and plays in the Champions League or Europa League. He can always make the next step."
