And after hearing about their links to the central midfielder, Arsenal fans took to Twitter to voice their thoughts on their latest reported transfer target.
Some fans gave their backing behind a potential swoop, with one supporter in particular saying “he is exactly who we should be going for”.
One supporter of the north London side meanwhile dreamed up a scenario of seeing Gueye alongside Lucas Torreira in central midfield.
Having already seen Matteo Guendouzi flourish after joining from Lorient – the Frenchman has already made an incredible 77 appearances for the north London side since arriving back in the summer of 2018 – the Gunners know first-hand that there are hidden talents out there to be found.
And if Gueye could enjoy a similar career to the one Guendouzi has enjoyed in his time at the club, then Arsenal could very well have a French midfield duo for the next few years at the very least.
