At the end of his contract at PSG this summer, Emmanuel Mbemba is preparing for a change of scenery despite a professional contract offer from his training club. After being quoted at Bayern Munich a few weeks ago, the 18-year-old defender is now the subject of interest from Arsenal. The English club even proposed his project to him with the idea of ​​lending him to France.
According to the BBCanother Premier League club would now be on the case: Bournemouth. The Cherries have reportedly started discussions with the French U19 international’s entourage. The club would consider loaning him to Lorient – who share the same owner, BKFC – in order to allow him to develop. Unlike Arsenal, Bournemouth would have the possibility of controlling their playing time at Merlus thanks to the common shareholder of the two clubs. It remains to be seen which proposal will be the most convincing in the eyes of the player. Mikel Arteta would have reassured him in particular about his plan to develop young players, mentioning the example of William Saliba.
