Brighton midfielder Yves Bissouma could be available for £30m this summer, according to reports in the English media.
It was originally believed that the Malian international would cost in the region of £40m but this apparent price drop could aid Arsenal’s chances in securing the 24-year-old’s signature.
Bissouma is also reportedly being pursued by Liverpool and Manchester City but a number of supporters on Twitter want the Gunners to go after him, especially if he is available for a lower amount:

Knowing my club, they’re going to wait till he gets to 19.5m

It does seem as though Arsenal have the edge over other clubs. The midfielder has the same agent as Nicolas Pepe, Michael N’Cho, and they were pictured together after the Gunners’ 2-0 win against the Seagulls on Sunday.
Of course, having a preference for one club doesn’t necessarily mean he will make the switch but if they do put £30m on the table, Arsenal will have a good chance of getting their man.
