Arsenal scouts have been keeping an eye on a trio of young wingers playing in Europe in recent weeks, according to a report.
Sam Cohen reports for GIVEMESPORT that Arsenal have been watching three young wingers in recent weeks, namely Real Betis’ Pablo Garcia (19), Hoffenheim’s Bazoumana Touré (19), and Eintracht Frankfurt’s Jean-Matteo Bahoya (20).
The three are understood to be on a longer list of talents observed by Arsenal scouts, with the club looking to integrate their data-driven identification models with live reports ahead of future transfer windows.
The Gunners are reportedly continuing to monitor young, technically capable and developing players around Europe, and though no imminent move is planned, Arsenal are building detailed reports on Garcia, Toure, and Bahoya.
Garcia has made five appearances for the Real Betis senior side this season, primarily operating on the right wing. Also a Spain u21 international, the teenager scored in one of his two appearances over the September break.
Toure primarily plays on the left for Hoffenheim, having joined the club from Swedish side Hammarby earlier this year. The Ivory Coast u23 international has provided two assists in his six appearances this season.
Bahoya has perhaps had the biggest impact in the early stages of the new campaign, scoring three times and assisting once for Frankfurt in six appearances. He was also involved with the France u21s over the September break, setting up a goal against Serbia.
The fact that all three players are already appearing regularly for their respective teams in the Bundesliga and La Liga makes it unsurprising that Arsenal would be keeping an eye on them. At this stage, it doesn’t seem like the report is suggesting anything more than that.
