Arsenal have approached Serie A side Fiorentina over a potential deal for midfielder Jordan Veretout.
Unai Emery is trying to make vital adjustments to his squad this summer despite they failed to qualify for the Champions League.
Emery is keen to sign a box-to-box midfielder to replace Aaron Ramsey – who is joining Juventus on a free transfer – and Veretout has emerged as an ideal candidate.
He has a contract until 2021 and Fiorentina are hoping to get a sizeable fee for the midfielder, especially with Roma and Sevilla also interested.
