AS Roma defender Philippe Mexes is wanted by Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger.
Itasportpress.it says Wenger is keen to secure Mexes to a pre-contract in January.
Like with Marouane Chamakh last summer, Wenger is happy to take advantage of the Bosman law and snap up Mexes as a free agent in June.
The Frenchman is also a favourite of Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti.
