Arsenal have reportedly started discussions with Sevilla over the potential signing of midfielder Steven N'Zonzi.
According to Sky Sports, new manager Unai Emery is keen to work with the 29-year-old again, having previously linked up together at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium.
It's said Emery is ready to make the former Blackburn Rovers and Stoke City man his fourth signing of the summer. Arsenal have already acquired Bernd Leno, Stephan Lichtsteiner and Sokratis Papastathopoulos in this window.
Midfield does appear to be an area the new coach wants to strengthen, though. According to David Ornstein of BBC Sport, Arsenal are also closing in on a potential deal for Uruguay and Sampdoria star Lucas Torreira:
