Arsenal are watching Metz midfielder Yeni Ngbakoto.
Foot Mercato says Arsenal and FC Porto have approached the player's camp to discuss a possible future transfer.
A move away this month has been ruled out, with Ngbakoto committed to helping guide Metz away from the Ligue Une dropzone.
However, a transfer abroad in the summer will be considered by the 22 year-old midfielder.
Interestingly, along with the Gunners and Porto, Manchester City have also been in contact with Ngbakoto's representatives this season - on behalf of their MLS club New York City FC.
