Arsenal are closing in on their first signing of the summer.The Gunners reportedly want Leganes forward Youssef En-Nesyri, 22, after an impressive season with the LaLigaclub, in which the Morocco international scored 11 goals in 34 games for the side in all competitions.

Age: 22Club: LeganesPosition: StrikerNationality: MoroccanLaLiga appearances – 22Goals: 9Starts – 12Man of the Match awards – 4Shots per 90 minutes – 3.2Won aerial duels per 90 – 6.3Whats the gossip?
Fox Sports Asia claim Arsenal are close to making En-Nesyri their first signing of the summer.The player and his agent are thought to be considering a number of deals from European clubs that have been put to them.The report also suggests Arsenal are leading the race for his signature because of the players interest in moving away from Spain.Spanish side Real Betis are also another club who are said to be in the hunt for the striker.Club career so far?
En-Nesyri began his professional career with Malaga after joining for 125,000 from the Mohammed VI Football Academy in Morocco in 2015 as a youngster.He started with the Malaga B team and after scoring six goals in six appearances he was quickly promoted to the senior side.He was included in the then Malaga boss Juande Ramos’ pre-season squad and scored a double in a 4-0 win against Algeciras eight days later.

En-Nesyri has no release clause but a price tag of around 8.8million has been touted, with the financially limited Leganes likely to be willing to clash in on the marksman.
@CannonInsider4How does he play?
En-Neysri is a bullish, powerful forward.The youngster would have no issues adapting to the physicality of the Premier League.As well as his finishing ability, En-Nesyri is a big threat in the air thanks to his fantastic jumping reach winning an incredible 4.4 aerial duels per game this season (WhoScored).International experience?
En-Nesyri has also represented Morocco on 21 occasions, chipping in with six goals.He is part of the national team who are currently preparing for theAfrica Cup of Nations, which begins later this month.Valencia erect statue of late fan Vicente Navarro Aparicio in the seat he sat in for more than 40 yearsHow will he fit in to Arsenals team?
Emery will undoubtedly have to tinker with his formation if En-Neysri signs for the Gunners.The Spaniard may have to deploy a very attacking 4-3-3 formation to squeeze all three of his lethal front-men in the line-up.Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has featured on the left-wing for large parts of the season and although he prefers being a no.9, he is still a major nuisance for defenders out wide, while Lacazette may also have to move out wide to make way for En-Neysri.The Gunners could use Granit Xhaka as their deepest central midfielder with Matteo Guendouzi and Lucas Torreira able to break forward with the ball at their feet and get close to their forwards in what would be a very attacking Arsenal line-up, especially with their full-backs bombing on.
