Arsenal are interested in signing Amiens forward Serhou Guirassy, who emerged as one of the most promising strikers in France last season.
Arsenal's transfer funds will be severely limited in the next window, with the club primarily looking at either free transfers or swap deals.
The 24-year-old, who has also been watched by West Ham and Bournemouth, is looking for a move to the Premier League after the FFF called an end to the Ligue 1 season and relegated Amiens.
The Frenchman has been the stand-out performer for the club since arriving from German side Cologne in a £5million deal last summer, scoring nine league goals.
