Arsenal return to action on Saturday when they host London rivals Fulham in the Premier League.
The Gunners currently sit top of the table after seven matches, having defeated West Ham United 2-0 in their last outing prior to the international break.
Mikel Arteta’s side have finished third in each of the past three seasons, and the Spaniard will be desperate to see his side go one better this time around.
In the meantime, it has emerged that the Gunners are one of several clubs monitoring a French youngster, who is regarded as a player with huge potential.
As per CaughtOffside, Arsenal are one of several Premier League sides that are monitoring Nantes youngster Tyler Tati.

The report claims that the likes of Manchester United, Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, Brighton and Hove Albion, Brentford and Aston Villa have all sent scours to watch the 17-year-old.
Tati is a product of Nantes’ youth system and has forced his way into the first team this season, starting each of their first six league games.
The teenage defender has featured in six Ligue 1 matches so far this term, and the report claims that clubs across Europe have taken notice of the centre-back’s impressive performances.
It is claimed that Spanish giants Barcelona, as well as German sides RB Leipzig and Bayer Leverkusen, are also said to be interested in the youngster, who is under contract at his current club until the end of the 2027/28 season.
The report also suggests that Tati’s future could be a huge talking point during next summer’s transfer window, with the defender likely to compete for a place if he were to join a club competing in the Champions League.
