Yannick Carrasco featured for Belgium in last summer's World Cup

Arsenal are in talks to sign Belgian winger Yannick Carrasco from Chinese side Dalian Yifang, according to Sky in Italy.

The Gunners are understood to have turned to the 25 year old after they were frustrated in their attempts to sign Ivan Perisic from Inter Milan.

Arsenal made an offer to take the Croatia international on loan with a view to a permanent deal in the summer, according to Sky in Italy, but the Serie A side turned it down.

Carrasco joined Dalian Yifang from Atletico Madrid last February and has gone on to score seven goals in 26 games for the Super League side.

He has five goals in 34 games for Belgium, and was part of the team that finished third in the 2018 World Cup.
