Arsenal are reportedly leading a clutch of Premier League clubs in the race to sign Nice midfielder Jean Michael Seri.
According to L'Equipe (h/t Alex Smith of the Daily Mirror), the Gunners have an edge on the likes of Manchester City, Manchester United and Liverpool in pursuit of the player due to a strong relationship that exists between Seri's agent and Arsenal's head of football relations Raul Sanllehi.
City are reported to have previously been the favourites to secure the 26-year-old after talks were held between the Premier League champions and the player's representatives.
