Arsenal are leading the race for the signature of Leicester City midfielder N'Golo Kante.
RMC says the pint-sized midfielder has been one of the key men behind the Foxes' unprecedented Premier League title success.
Chelsea and Manchester United are also thought to be interested in his services but reports back in his native France suggest that the Gunners have already met with his representatives.
Arsenal are believed to want further talks with Kante before paying £19.8million to activate his release clause.
