Arsenal are ready to launch a bid for Nice midfielder Jean-Michael Seri.
The Daily Mail says incoming Arsenal boss Unai Emery tried to sign Seri for Paris Saint-Germain in January and is now poised to revive his interest.
Seri, who has an agreement written into his contract allowing him to leave if Nice receive an offer of £35million, is also of interest to Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund.
The Gunners parted ways with midfielder Santi Carzola at the end of the season, as the Spaniard brought to an end his injury-hit tenure in north London.
Midfield ranks have to be boosted as a result, with Arsenal looking to be active in the transfer market.
