Arsenal appear to have renewed their interest in Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Christopher Nkunku after sending scouts to watch him in action this week, according to Mercato 365.

The young Frenchman was expected to swap Paris for London in the January transfer window with Unai Emery seemingly keen to sign a player he blooded during his time as the manager of the Ligue 1 champions.

But the deal fell through, with the Mirror claiming that Arsenal were reluctant to pay the substantial loan fee PSG were demanding for the 21-year-old.

Mercato 365 believe the Gunners are still interested. They allegedly sent scouts to watch Nkunku as PSG battered relegation threatened Dijon on Tuesday night.

The versatile youngster made his tenth Ligue 1 start of the season as Angel Di Maria inspired a 4-0 demolition, although he failed to add to his tally of three goals and two assists in the French top flight this season.

With Aaron Ramsey agreeing a move to Juventus, Nkunku could fill the void left by the Welsh international at the Emirates when the time comes.
