Arsenal and Liverpool on high alert after Bradley Barcola transfer twist

Mikel Arteta and Andoni Iraola have been handed a massive boost in their search for a new winger.

Reports out of France this morning confirm that Paris Saint-Germain have made the executive decision to place Bradley Barcola on the transfer list.

The 23-year-old French international enjoyed an highly-successful domestic campaign, but he has recently fallen entirely behind Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in Luis Enrique’s tactical pecking order.

With Arsenal actively seeking a direct, elite left-winger to future-proof their attack amidst Gabriel Martinelli exit rumours, the Gunners are preparing a formal opening proposal.

However, Liverpool are ready to match any multi-million bidding war, with Iraola viewing Barcola as an ideal structural fit for his preferred, high-pressing style.
