Paris Saint-Germain have identified an Arsenal star as an option to bolster their attack for next season, according to L'Equipe.
The Gunners have had a remarkable season so far and sit top of the Premier League, while they are also in the Champions League semi-finals, where they will face off against Atletico Madrid over two legs for a place in the final, where they could face off with the Ligue 1 giants.
But PSG are already looking ahead to next season and how they can strengthen even further, with sporting director Luis Campos already holding talks with one north London star about a move.
PSG Hold Talks to Sign Martinelli

According to a report in France, PSG chief Campos has held talks with the agents of Arsenal star Gabriel Martinelli about a summer move to the Parc des Princes.
The Brazil international, described as 'frightening', has been a regular at the Emirates Stadium this season, making 46 appearances for the club and contributing 11 goals and six assists in all competitions. But his performances haven't been the best, with the club now considering allowing him to move on as he enters the final year of his contract.
Martinelli's current deal expires in 2027, although Arsenal have the option of another year, and PSG see his versatility and pace as the perfect fit for their forward line. Luis Enrique wants a new forward to compete with Bradley Barcola, Desire Doue, Ousmane Dembele, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and has given the green light to a move for the 24-year-old.
He isn't the only target, though, with Campos also holding talks with RB Leipzig star Yan Diomande's agents about a potential move to France as the club considers their options.
Arsenal Should Cash In on Martinelli

Just because PSG want to sign Martinelli, doesn't mean Arsenal should keep him, and it's clear that he has had his time in north London.
The way Mikel Arteta wants his teams to play doesn't suit the Brazilian too well, and the club would be far better off cashing in this summer and spending the money to bring someone in who can perform to a higher level.
Martinelli has been given several chances to impress and develop, and he hasn't taken them. Arsenal now have to make the decision to part ways, rather than continue to wait and hope that he will improve to the level they require.
