and Senegal winger Ismaila Sarr on their shortlist of attacking options.

Meanwhile, Summerville is not short of options as Paris Saint-Germain have also made an approach to West Ham.

Arsenal are also considering a move for Summerville

with Mikel Arteta keen to strengthen the left side of Arsenal’s attack.

Speaking exclusively to

Metro

last month

, Paul Merson endorsed Arsenal’s interest in Summerville.

‘For me, they need a left winger to go to the next level, and they need to send it forward, in my opinion,’ Merson said.

‘If Arsenal can get them two, I still think they win the league next year, but then I think they absolutely dominate football.

‘When you look at the transfer market, there are options out there. Someone like Summerville has been terrific.

‘He’s played well for West Ham and started really well at the World Cup for the Netherlands. He’d certainly be the kind of player profile that Arsenal should be looking at.’
