Rumour: Arsenal targeting West Brom midfielder Youssouf Mulumbu

Arsenal are reportedly keen on Congolese and West Brom powerhouse – Youssouf Mulumbu.

The mid-fielder has fuelled rumours of a possible move away from the Hawthorns this winter. He claims he is ready for a ‘top-four’ club, and this would be the right time for him to move.

“I have had approaches from Arsenal,” he said. “I could leave this winter. This is the right time for me to set my sights higher. I’m ready to join a top-four club,” he added.

The baggies bought Mulumbu from PSG for a lowly 150,000 pounds, which now looks an exceptional bargain. He has impressed immensely, after a solid start to the campaign, under Steve Clarke.
