Arsenal will reportedly have to offload some of their midfielders before they can bring in Jean Michael Seri from Nice.
According to L'Equipe (h/t Metro), the Gunners are interested in signing Seri but are yet to open talks with his club as they must first get rid of potentially up to three excess players.
Manager Arsene Wenger typically deploys just two central midfielders in his side but has multiple players competing for those positions, including Granit Xhaka, Mohamed Elneny, Francis Coquelin, Aaron Ramsey, Jack Wilshere and Santi Cazorla.
