Arsenal told how much it will cost to sign striker replacement in January

Arsenal will have to fork out over £25million if they want to sign Genk striker Leandro Trossard.

That's according to their manager, Philippe Clement, who remains confident he can keep the 23-year-old in Belgium in January despite Arsenal's interest in his striker.

Scouts from the north London clubs have been spotted watching the 23-year-old, who has scored ten goals in 13 appearances in all competitions so far for his boyhood club.

Unai Emery had been keen to add another forward to his squad in January and after Danny Welbeck's injury in the Europa League against Sporting Lisbon, that area now looks to have become a priority.

There had been rumours that Trossard would leave Genk in the summer after his performances in the Belgian top division the season before, but the club managed to hold onto him, despite Clement being worried they wouldn't be able to.

But the Genk manager is in a different mood heading into January, where he says it's not common for a club to lose one of their best players, despite Arsenal's reported interest in his star man.
