Arsenal are set to turn their attentions to Leicester City winger Riyad Mahrez after being knocked back in their efforts to sign Thomas Lemar.
The Gunner saw a £30m offer turned down for Lemar and are now looking at signing Mahrez as an alternative.
According to Jeremy Wilson of the Telegraph , Arsenal are considering making a firm enquiry for Mahrez as they look to bolster their wide options this summer.
The club have also had a bid rejected for Lyon forward Alexandre Lacazette, who’s price tag is set at £49m.
The report claims that Mahrez is looking to leave Leicester this summer, just over a year after he won the Premier League with the club.
Leicester are thought to want a fee in the region of £50m but Arsenal are unwilling to meet their valuation and are hoping to negotiate a lower price.
Premier League champions Chelsea are also said to be monitoring the situation.
