Arsenal fans would love to sign midfielder Aleksandr Golovin after his sensational performance for Russia in the opening game of the 2018 World Cup.

The 22-year-old was in outstanding form against Saudi Arabia, assisting twice before curling in a beautiful stoppage time free-kick to put the cherry on top of a 5-0 win.

The prospect is of course well know to Gunners fans already, having scored against them in the UEFA Europa League last season for CSKA Moscow.

Having made over 100 appearances for the Russian club, he is now well placed to move onto bigger and better things and is now set to be one of the break out stars of the World Cup.

Arsenal fans are certainly eager to land him, with many believing he could be an eventual creative replacement for the likes of Aaron Ramsey, Mesut Ozil or Jack Wilshere.

Should Unai Emery be making a move for the player this summer?

Supporters took to Twitter to share their thoughts on it all...
