The French newspaper "L'Equipe" reports that London's "Arsenal" is targeting "Nice" midfielder Jean-Michael Seri.
The player from the Ivory Coast is currently in contact with the head of Arsenal's football operations Raul Sanllehi, who tried to lure him to "Barcelona" last year.
This transfer was a step closer to success, but ultimately everything collapsed when an unexpected offer was made by "Paris Saint-Germain", so a disappointed Seri had to stay at "Nice".
However, now the opportunity to leave the "Ligue 1" championships will be attempted by Arsenal, who are eager to sign the 26-year-old midfielder.
For the midfielder's signature, the club will have to compete with "Manchester City" and London's "Chelsea", who are also looking to strengthen their midfield.
In total, Seri played 41 games this season, scoring one goal and providing nine assists.
The website Transfermarkt.com values him at 35 million euros.
