Arsenal have joined the race to sign Paris Saint-Germain attacking midfielder Yacine Adli, according to Footmercato.net.

The 17 year old has yet to sign a professional contract with PSG, and could choose to leave the Parc des Princes, with Barcelona and Bayern Munich also monitoring the player’s situation.

Adli has yet to make his professional debut for Unai Emery’s side but he was named on the bench for the first time as PSG won 4-2 against Strasbourg in the League Cup back in December.

This season, the midfielder has played mostly for the club’s Under 19 side with nine appearances in the UEFA Youth League to his name.

At international level, Adli has already been capped at both Under 16 and Under 17 level for France, having made a significant impact at the U17 World Cup back in October.

During the tournament, the playmaker made five assists in three group stage matches, as well as scoring in the 5-1 win against Honduras.
