The Frenchman was linked with a move away from Istanbul last summer and he admitted that he was flattered by the Gunners interest.

However, Galatasaray eventually decided to keep him after losing other key players. They will re-evaluate his situation next summer.

Romano has now revealed that Arsenal and United are monitoring the progress of the right-back, but have not made any offer.

They are likely to play the waiting game until the summer before deciding whether to spend on the highly-rated star, formerly of Rennes.

Galatasaray could demand close to €25m for their prized asset and it is left to be seen whether either of those teams will make a move.

Arsenal currently have Ben White , Takehiro Tomiyasu and Jurrien Timber, who can all play at right-back. The latter two are injured.

United also have Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Diogo Dalot for the role, but the former's contract expires at the end of next season.
