At just 20 years old the Senegalese forward is one of the hottest prospects new onto the scene in Ligue 1. And now, after scoring his first goal for club Rennes this week in the Europa League , an excellent volley against FK Jablonec, Premier League club Arsenal look set to battle Inter Milan for his signature.

Arsenal are prepared to enter a bidding war with Italian giants Inter Milan for the signature of young Rennes talent Ismaila Sarr.

Having been likened to FC Barcelona and France World Cup winner Ousmane Dembele, it is easy to see why bot clubs are prepared to match Rennes' £20 million valuation of their star player.

Sarr went to the World Cup in Russia this summer with Senegal, and was also on the Golden Boy award shortlist, given to Europe's top prospect each season, but lost out to France's Kylian Mbappé.

Inter Milan are also admirers of the young forward, but Rennes want to keep their star player at least until next summer's transfer window.
