I think he will be a major asset for them.” The Senegalese went onto score two goals in 16 appearances at Vicarage Road before moving to his next loan club Torino.After a solid season in Turin he signed permanently for the Serie A outfit in 2018 before being loaned again to Rennes.In the summer, Niang once again emerged as a surprise target for the Gunners after a string of good performances for Senegal at the World Cup in Russia.He netted once for his national side before they were cruelly eliminated from the competition due to their inferior disciplinary record to Japan.However, as before, the interest from the Emirates never materialised into a move.
