Arsenal weighing up double £60m raid on Premier League rival

Arsenal are weighing up a £60m raid on Premier League champions Leicester City in the summer transfer window, according to The Independent. 

The Gunners are 13 points behind the newly-crowned champions Leicester after a disappointing season. 

Arsene Wenger has been criticised for failing to sign an outfield player last summer after the Arsenal manager snapped up Petr Cech in an £11m deal from Chelsea. 

However, the 65-year-old is reportedly set to swoop for two of the biggest names in the Premier League as the Gunners boss looks to spend some of his accumulated transfer funds. 

According to The Independent, Arsenal are set to launch a £60m bid to sign Leicester duo N’Golo Kante and Riyad Mahrez. 

Kante is thought to have a £20m contract release clause, while Mahrez is rumoured to command an asking price of £40m.
