The Gunners have been closely monitoring the Cameroon international’s development so far in this campaign, and head coach Arsene Wenger has obviously been liking what he has been hearing back from his scouts as the Frenchman sent more of his scouting network over to northern France to check out Souare play for Lille against St Etienne in Ligue 1 on Friday.
