Arsenal have entered the mix for in-demand Nice midfielder Jean-Michael Seri, who has also been linked with the Gunners' north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
All-action midfielder Seri impressed hugely last term as he was a key man in Nice finishing in third spot in Ligue 1.
His displays did not go unnoticed with Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and Tottenham keen, though it has been Roma leading the way in recent weeks.
Seri now has another club on his trail however as, according to Eurosport France, Arsenal are interested in taking him to the Emirates Stadium.
Arsene Wenger's men are monitoring Seri's situation on the French south coast closely in advance of a potential bid.

Seri has a release clause at Nice set at the €40m mark and the French side are keen that he should not leave for less.
Nice's insistence on the €40m figure has slowed Roma's recent attempts to take Seri to Italy.
Seri has two years remaining on his contract with Nice.
