Arsenal are reportedly prepared to battle north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur to sign Nice midfielder Jean Michael Seri before the summer transfer window closes.
According to ESPN.co.uk's Peter O'Rourke, the Gunners are "weighing up a move" for the 26-year-old Ivorian, and Tottenham are also said to be interested, but Seri's availability could all depend on whether Nice make it through to the group stage of the 2017-18 UEFA Champions League.
Nice finished third in Ligue 1 last season behind champions Monaco and runners-up Paris Saint-Germain, and they are therefore required to go through qualifying to make the Champions League proper.
