Arsenal are showing interest in signing another French star alongside Bradley Barcola of PSG, according to BBC reporter Sami Mokbel.
The Gunners haven't rushed into any big signings so far in the summer transfer window, which is no surprise after they lifted the Premier League title last season.
The likes of Manchester United, Tottenham and Liverpool are all working on multiple deals at a time, but Arsenal can afford to sit back and wait.
The Gunners won't want to rest on what they built last year, especially considering they lost in the Champions League final against PSG.
There's no doubt Mikel Arteta will be looking to improve his squad in the summer transfer window, but there's no need for them to panic after their 25-26 campaign success.

According to BBC reporter Mokbel, Arsenal have a strong interest in signing goalkeeper Illan Meslier, who has now left Leeds United following the expiration of his contract.
Arsenal are potentially in the market for a second-choice goalkeeper with Kepa Arrizabalaga's future uncertain.
The former Chelsea goalkeeper might be considering heading through the exit door in the coming months in order to go and play more regular first-team football.
Meslier isn't the only French player that Arsenal are currently looking at, with reports suggesting that they also want Paris Saint-Germain winger Barcola.
The Leeds goalkeeper lost his place as number one with the Yorkshire club, and he's now departed after his contract expired at the end of June.

Arsenal are also in the market for midfield additions during the summer transfer window, with Newcastle United star Bruno Guimaraes a target for the Gunners.
Reports have suggested that Arsenal saw a verbal offer of less than £60m rejected by Newcastle, who consider the Brazilian international not for sale.
Reports in Brazil suggested that Guimaraes has a release clause of around £60 million in his contract, but the Magpies deny that clause even exists.
Arsenal are expected to return with another offer, and it remains to be seen whether the Magpies will eventually soften their stance on the midfielder.
