Arsenal target Carrasco gives ‘approval’ to January move

Yannick Carrasco could soon be an Arsenal player. 

If a report in the Daily Mirror is to be believed, the Belgian international has given assent to a move from Dalian Yifang of the Chinese Super League, where he has been since February. 

Both Carrasco and Nicolas Gaitan joined the club from Atletico Madrid, but it seems as though the 25-year-old has failed to settle in Asia. 

With a move to back to Europe on the cards, the Mirror go on to state that Arsenal are the favourites to secure the services of the winger.

Milan and Manchester United are also said to be monitoring the situation of Carrasco, who is set to make his move in January. 

Receiving £170,000 a week currently however, the Gunners would have to fork out a serious amount of cash to capture the Vilvoorde-native. 

Carrasco spent three years with both Monaco and Atleti, making 81 appearances for both clubs. 

Selected for Roberto Martinez’s Belgium squad at the World Cup in Russia, the wide-man was a large part of his nation’s success at the tournament, ultimately placing third.
