Sanllehi key as Arsenal go for Nice midfielder Seri

Nice midfielder Jean Michael Seri is on the radar of Arsenal.

The Daily Mail says Seri is on the club's radar.

Barcelona failed with a £36million offer for the Ivory Coast international last summer in a swoop that was fronted by Raul Sanllehi - who has since joined Arsenal in the role of head of football relations.

Barca were ready to close a deal, but pulled back after clinching the signing of Paulinho from China.

Seri has declared he remains open to leaving Nice, though won't agitate for a move after his August disappointment.
