From the source

Arsenal’s search for attacking depth appears to be taking them back to Bournemouth, with Marcus Tavernier emerging as a serious name under consideration alongside other closely monitored Cherries talents.

According to TeamTalk, Tavernier is “generating significant Premier League interest” after what has been described as a “hugely impressive start to the season”. Arsenal and Manchester United are both following the 27-year-old, while Newcastle United retain a long-standing interest and Tottenham Hotspur had also looked at him previously.

The key detail in this development is Arsenal’s continuing work on the left side of their attack. The report states that “Arsenal have been compiling reports on Tavernier as they assess options to strengthen their left-sided attack” and adds that “The Gunners remain in the market for a new left winger”.
