Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta will be working to fine-tune his squad this summer, before bidding once again to win the Premier League title next term.
The Gunners have finished second in the top flight table for three consecutive seasons, and are now without a trophy since 2020.
Pressire will therefore be mounting on the Spaniard, who also saw his side reach the semi-finals of the Champions League this season before being eliminated by eventual champions Paris Saint-Germain.
Now, it has emerged that the North London outfit are showing interest in one of PSG’s biggest stars.
According to CaughtOffside, Arsenal are one of a number of Premier League clubs that have scouted PSG winger Bradley Barcola in recent months.

The report claims that both Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur have also been monitoring the Frenchman, who played a key role for Luis Enrique’s side as they lifted the Champions League for the first time in the club’s history.
Barcola, 22, joined PSG from fierce rivals Lyon in 2023 and has since played 97 times for the French champions across all competitions, scoring 26 goals and providing 28 assists.
This season he registered a combined 40 goals and assists in 58 matches for Luis Enrique’s side as they completed the treble of Champions League, Ligue 1 title and French Cup triumph.
His impressive form this term has attracted interest from clubs in the Premier League, and the report claims that the Gunners, the Citizens and the Lilywhites have all had scouts in attendance to watch the winger in recent months.
Barcola is under contract in the French capital until the end of the 2027/28 campaign, and it is suggested that PSG value the attacker as high as £100 million.
None of the three interested English clubs are expected to formalise their interest in Barcola unless his current team show a willingness to negotiate, the report claims.
