Louis Saha has identified the perfect Leandro Torssard replacement for

Arsenal

and has urged the Gunners to beat

Liverpool

in the race to sign the

World Cup

star.

The Belgium international has represented one of the smartest signings of

Mikel Arteta

’s tenure given he cost only £27million

when he joined from Brighton three-and-a-half years ago

.

Having played a crucial role in Arsenal’s first title-winning campaign in 22 years,

Trossard has been granted a move to Besiktas

and will complete a £20m transfer after the World Cup.

Arteta had been keen to add to his forward line even before sanctioning Trossard’s departure and has identified a number of high-profile targets.

Morgan Rogers is said to be keen on a move

to the Premier League champions while Arsenal are

exploring a move to sign Greek winger Christos Tzolis

from Club Brugge.

Arsenal are also keeping tabs on Paris Saint-Germain’s Bradley Barcola who may seek a fresh challenge having slipped down Luis Enrique’s pecking order last season.

Liverpool, too, are keeping tabs on the France international will face an even bigger fight for a place in the European champions’ starting XI with the impending arrival of Yan Diomande who snubbed a move to the Reds from RB Leipzig.

One of Andoni Iraola first jobs as Liverpool manager will be to fill the void created by Mohamad Salah’s departure but Saha believes Barcola would be best served by moving to Arsenal.

‘Bradley Barcola is a terrific player, Saha told

. ‘He has already won two Champions Leagues, and he could even win the World Cup over the next few weeks, his achievements for such a young player are staggering.

‘He has become a much improved player over the past few seasons, he gets better and better every year, and he can go right to the very top of football.

‘What Barcola needs is to move somewhere where he is going to be first choice in his position week in, week out.

‘His confidence will improve ten-fold once that happens, and then he will be a way more dangerous player. If he gets a move to Arsenal, he would be unbelievable on the left-hand side for them.

‘His talent precedes him, and he has the ability to take any top attacking side to the next level.
