Wingers who remain available late in the window often attract renewed attention from multiple Premier League clubs. Reports from reliable French sources can quickly revive previously stalled links. Clubs that have already strengthened one flank may still seek further quality on the opposite side.
Players seeking greater minutes or a new challenge keep their options open as the deadline approaches. Interest that was previously focused on one club can broaden once that pursuit cools. Short statements from well-connected reporters help clarify the current picture.

Arsenal would like to sign Bradley Barcola, according to reports emerging from France. L’Equipe has indicated that another English club could make a move for the Paris Saint-Germain winger, with journalist Abdel Hamed stating that the Gunners hold interest.
The France international has been linked with a Premier League switch throughout the summer. Liverpool were previously the most active party but appeared ready to walk away after Paris Saint-Germain held firm on a high valuation. The latest update suggests Arsenal remain admirers of the 23-year-old.

Understand Bradley Barcola would prefer a move to Arsenal and London over Liverpool, however as it stands, no indication that Arsenal are willing to pay anything close to the fee PSG have set for the player.

Barcola has established himself as a dynamic left-sided attacker capable of operating on either wing. Arsenal have already added Christos Tzolis this summer but continue to assess further options in the final third following the failed pursuit of Vinicius Junior.
Any move would require PSG to soften their stance on the fee and the player to favour a switch to north London. Discussions remain at an early stage, yet the fresh reporting keeps Barcola in the conversation as the window enters its final fortnight.
Supporters will note the development with interest. Arsenal continue to explore attacking reinforcements while managing several outgoing situations. Further clarity on whether formal contact is made will be expected in the coming days.
