Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is ready to raid St Etienne for striker Bafe Gomis.
The People says Wenger is concerned Emmanuel Adebayor will quit this summer as AC Milan and Barcelona hover around the Togo international.
Gomis is on Wenger's radar after a sensational run took him to the top of the French scoring charts and into their Euro 2008 squad.
Manchester United have also looked at Gomis, 23, but insiders at the French camp say that Arsenal are now the favourites.
