Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is chasing Sunderland winger Stephane Sessegnon.
The Daily Star Sunday says Wenger is rethinking his approach at the Emirates in the wake of the humiliating 4-0 defeat by AC Milan in midweek.
Sessegnon, 27, has impressed boss Martin O'Neill, who has described him as "essential" to his plans at the Stadium of Light .
The Benin ace has scored nine goals in nearly 40 games for the Black Cats since a £6million switch from Paris Saint-Germain. His arrival could prompt the sale of underachieving England winger Theo Walcott, 22.And that will mean a summer delve into the transfer market to bolster his squad with Premier League experience.
