Arsenal are reportedly monitoring the progress of Rennes midfielder Lovro Majer.
Since he completed a transfer from Dinamo Zagreb to Rennes in August 2021, Majer has scored seven goals and provided 11 assists in 44 appearances for the Ligue 1 side.
The Croatia international is being monitored by a number of clubs across Europe, including Arsenal who are keeping tabs on a player that has been compared to Luka Modric.
According to The Mirror, the Gunners sent scouts to watch the midfielder come off the bench to score the winner in Croatia’s UEFA Nations League meeting with Denmark.
Arsenal could face competition from Barcelona who are believed to be interested in signing the 24-year-old, while Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have also been linked.
Despite a number of clubs pursuing Majer’s signature, Rennes would only consider a fee in the region of €60m (£52.3m) for a player who has four years left on his current contract.
