West Ham Make £10m Offer for Ligue 2 Star Alexis Claude-Maurice as Arsenal Prepare Second Bid

Arsenal are likely to make another bid for Lorient forward Alexis Claude-Maurice after seeing their first offer knocked back by the Ligue 2 club, but they will face competition from West Ham.

Unai Emery has been a popular choice at Arsenal due to his willingness to give youth a chance and his pursuit of Claude-Maurice is another example of the direction he wants to take the Gunners.

It was reported last week that Arsenal had an opening bid of around £6.1m rejected by the Ligue 2 outfit, but Get French Football News have revealed the north London club are likely to table a new offer, this time in the region of £12m.
