The Gunners are also looking to strengthen their midfield this summer and have been linked with Moroccan sensation Ayyoub Bouaddi.

A host of clubs, including Manchester City, are reportedly vying for his signature, but Lille are determined not to let him leave on the cheap and are demanding a fee of around £85m (€100m).

Morgan Rogers has also been regularly linked with a move to Arsenal, but Aston Villa remain unwilling to part ways with the attacker this summer.
