Arsenal are leading the race for 20 year old Moroccan superstar. The player is currently impressing in Premier League and has interest from Italy and Germany.
Gunners are set for a major summer window with Mikel Arteta eyeing multiple changes. The club needs to sign some midfielders due to the current situation. As of now, Thomas Partey and Jorginho are both set to leave as free agents.
Arsenal are said to be very close to sign Martin Zubimendi. The Spaniard will be given the job of handling the deeper parts of the pitch. However, Gunners are also keen to sign a player who can play in advanced parts of midfield.

Bilal is 20 years old and can play as both central and attacking midfielder. He has played 28 games for Leicester City this term and has registered 3 goals along with 3 assists. He has already represented Morocco national team 19 times so far.
Leicester signed Bilal only in last summer and are very happy with him. However, they could still be forced to sell him this summer. This is due to the fact that the Foxes are very likely to get relegated. This will result in losing many top players.
Bilal can be a great addition to the Arsenal squad. He can serve as a key backup for Odegaard and eventually compete for the starting position. His age will make him a long-term investment. Joining Arsenal will also be a big step-up in the career and hence Bilal can be easily convinced.
