Arsenal are reportedly keeping an eye on Vitoria Guimaraes’ defensive midfielder Ibrahima Bamba.

And the Portuguese club have been informed that The Gunners want to be informed of the player if he is allowed to leave.

Bamba is valued at around £26.5 million and has been watched by scouts from the London outfit.

The player is not expected to leave in January, but there is a feeling that the right offer could change that.

Bamba, who joined Guimaraes in 2020, was born in Italy of Ivorian descent and was called up to train with a large group of players in May this year by Italian boss Roberto Mancini.
