Geoffrey Kondogbia scored against Arsenal at the Emirates

The defensive midfielder was heavily linked with a move to the Premier League two years ago before his £11m move to the Ligue 1 giants.

The 22-year-old's impressive form this season - notably his recent goalscoring display against Arsenal in the Champions League - has put the Gunners and United on red alert.

The pair are expected to make summer bids for Kondogbia, with reports in France claiming that Monaco value his services at £14.5m.

He would be the perfect buy

Perry Groves

Arsenal legend Perry Groves has previously advised Arsene Wenger that the France international would be a 'perfect' investment.

"There's a lad at Monaco called Geoffrey Kondogbia who is very similar to Patrick Vieira and he played at the Emirates Cup," he said.

"Arsenal need someone who can help in the transition from defence to attack. It would take a lot of money to get him, but he's physically imposing and he would be the perfect buy."
