Just when a deal seemed improbable, Arsenal have been handed another chance to land a top target.
Roma looked set to sign coveted Nice midfielder Jean Michael Seri, yet have supposedly scoffed at the €40m release clause set in place by the Ligue 1 side. As such, the Gunners are believed to have re-entered the race to sign the Ivorian in a bid to bolster their midfield options. With Francis Coquelin disappointing and Santi Cazorla injured more often than not, Arsene Wenger is aware that reinforcements in the middle of the park are required.
