Arsenal have reportedly become the latest club to register an interest in signing Marseille youngster Boubacar Kamara.

Earlier this year, it was claimed that Chelsea were keen to sign the 17-year-old defender, who has emerged as a stand-out performer for the French club's academy.

However, according to L'Equipe, Arsenal are ready to try to beat their London rivals to the signing of the teenager, who has represented France at Under-18 level.

Marseille are keen to hand Kamara a three-year contract but the player is yet to commit his future to his current employers, with some of Europe's biggest clubs taking an interest in his signature.
