According to Corriere dello Sport, Arsenal’s interest in the Belgian midfielder Dennis Praet is still ‘ongoing’ and they have been watching the 24-year-old this season.

Sampdoria are believed to want in the region of €20m for the player and Arsenal are trying to work out if that’s a fee they want to pay.

Praet has two goals and two assists for Samp in 29 Serie A appearances this season.

He renewed his contract back in November, tying him to the club until 2021.
