Premier League heavyweights Arsenal and Liverpool have intensified their scouting of Galatasaray playmaker Aleksey Batrakov after sending officials to watch him in European action this week. The 21-year-old Russian attacker has quickly caught the eye in Turkey following his summer switch from boyhood club Lokomotiv Moscow.
Lamine Camara is the “best player in France”, Gilles Grimandi has told GOAL, with the Monaco midfielder being tipped to star in the Premier League at some point in the not too distant future. A big-money transfer was expected to have been completed by now, with the likes of Liverpool and Chelsea keeping a close eye on the 22-year-old Senegal international.
