What happened. Former Arsenal defender Bacary Sagna said Manchester United defender Leny Yoro could "shine" for the Gunners if he ever moved to the Emirates. Yoro joined United from Lille in 2024 in a deal reported to be worth around £52million.

• Yoro was linked with Arsenal, Real Madrid and Liverpool before joining United.
• He has made 69 appearances for the Red Devils.
• Sagna says a player's success depends on more than individual quality.

“If he came to Arsenal and Arsenal were shining, he would probably have been shining too.”

— Bacary Sagna

No move is reported as imminent; Sagna's comments are a pundit's opinion, not a transfer development.
