According to Calciomercato, the meeting was called for Atangana to understand the future plans and the intentions of the club regarding the Ivory Coast international, who has two years left on his contract.

After failing to secure a deal for the Anglo-Nigerian in January, Brentford have re-ignited their interest for the highly-rated striker who scored 10 goals in 15 appearances for Arsenal U23 in the Premier League 2 this season.

Before the encounter that ended in a goalless draw on Saturday, Amiens boss Luka Elsner dropped a hint regarding Zungu's future after he was snubbed for selection.
