According to L’Equipe, Arsenal want to sign Jean Michael Seri from OGC Nice with North London rivals Tottenham also being interested.
Seri had a great season for OGC Nice last campaign, leading to many clubs being interested in the Ivorian.
Roma showed interest in Seri but they did not go for him as they were scared off by his £33m release clause in his current contract at the French club, with Nice unwilling to sell for a penny less.
Swansea have also had a bid rejected for Seri by Nice and Arsenal are still in the race for the midfielder, showing a real interest in bringing him to The Emirates.
Arsene Wenger looks to dive back into the French market by signing Seri, with new signing Alexandre Lacazette already brought over from Ligue 1 and both Thomas Lemar and Kylian Mbappe of Monaco on his radar as well.
Seri bagged seven goals and nine assists from 39 appearances in all competitions for Nice last season from a central midfield position which is a very good record for the 25-year-old.
The Ivorian has made 13 caps for his national side, scoring once since his senior international debut in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifying tie in September 2015.
