Torino sporting director Gianluca Petrachi admits he cannot rule out the exit of Arsenal target M'Baye Niang this summer, but has warned suitors they will have to dig deep for the forward.

Niang has become a man in demand this summer, with further attention drawn to the former AC Milan man due to his performances for Senegal at the World Cup in Russia.




Arsenal are claimed to have tested the water over taking Niang to the Emirates Stadium and the jury is out on whether Torino will be able to keep hold of the 23-year-old.

And Petrachi can make no promises.
 


The Torino sporting director said on Sportitalia: "He had a great World Cup and has his admirers.

"Then, we look at the player's will to make an evaluation.

"He has just arrived, he trains and if he wants to test himself somewhere else, we cannot rule that out.

"But there must be requirements that satisfy Torino, given the expenditure we made a year ago", Petrachi added.

Torino secured Niang, on a loan deal with an obligation to buy, from AC Milan last summer.

He has played in the Premier League, enjoying a loan spell with Watford in 2017, turning out 16 times in the English top flight, scoring twice and providing two assists.
