Arsenal may reportedly have been handed a significant transfer boost in their rumoured pursuit of Rennes attacking midfielder Desire Doue this summer.
Doue has impressed in Ligue 1, showing himself to be the next big thing emerging in French football, and it makes sense that a host of top clubs are now showing an interest in him.
See below as journalist Abdellah Boulma recently posted on X to report on interest in Doue from the likes of Arsenal and other top clubs such as Manchester United, Tottenham and Paris Saint-Germain, though it may now be that PSG are no longer prioritising the 18-year-old.

That’s according to a report from Le 10 Sport, who suggest that PSG are not currently working on this deal, despite what others have claimed.
With a big name competitor like that out of the way, it could be easier for Arsenal to win the race for Doue’s signature this summer, as the French youth international would surely choose to join the Gunners over the likes of Man Utd and Spurs at the moment as those latter two clubs no longer have Champions League football on offer.
