Monaco midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni has reportedly emerged as a summer transfer target for Arsenal.
Having only enhanced his reputation throughout this campaign, the France international is expected to make the switch to a bigger club before the start of 2022-23.
If reports are to be believed, Real Madrid and Liverpool are the clear frontrunners for a player who could cost in excess of £40m.
However, according to Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Arsenal are ready to enter the race for the 22-year-old alongside Manchester United.
Speaking to Wettfreunde, Di Marzio said: "A lot of clubs in the Premier League are following him. Arsenal, Manchester United to name just two. He would like to play in the Premier League.
"He has stayed at Monaco for another year to await a chance to play in the Premier League. I think that will be the summer when he changes."
As well as making his breakthrough with the national team, Tchouameni has been used on 44 occasions by Monaco this campaign, scoring three goals.
