Arsenal chasing St Etienne youngster

The 20-year-old is also wanted by Lyon, Marseille and Juventus, but he has admitted he would be keen on a move to Arsenal.

“Arsenal would really be the jewel in the crown for me,” said Riviere. “They play a fast-moving, attacking style of football, and they’re always shooting on goal.

“It’s fantastic.

“I respect Thierry Henry for who he is, he has always inspired me.”
