Watford remain interested in Rennes winger Ismaila Sarr but would have to break their club transfer record to sign him, Sky Sports News understands.

The 21-year-old is likely to cost £35m and it is understood that Roma are in advanced talks to sign him.

One source claims Arsenal will also be interested in signing him if they cannot complete a deal for Wilfried Zaha.

Sky Sports News understands that Arsenal have launched a £40m bid for the Crystal Palace forward.

Sarr, who scored as Senegal secured their place in the last 16 of the Africa Cup of Nations with a 3-0 win over Kenya on Monday, joined Rennes from Metz in 2017.

He made 39 appearances for the Ligue 1 side last season, scoring 12 goals.
