But Crystal Palace are said to have different designs to Arsenal.
Arsenal and Crystal Palace have made offers to the teenage French winger, Bilel Hassaini, according to Foot Mercato.
Hassaini is said to have received ‘many proposals’ after turning down a new deal at AS Nancy Lorraine, despite having never played a first-team game.
Nevertheless, Foot Mercato claims Crystal Palace would be ready to integrate him immediately into theirs, with Arsenal wanting to add him to the under-23 set-up at London Colney.
But the Premier League pair could lose out to Paris Saint-Germain, whom it is said are Hassaini’s ‘priority’.
And PSG may also be Nancy’s preference, with a €300,000 training fee (around £267,000) due if the player remains in France.
That figure could be much lower to overseas clubs such as Arsenal and Crystal Palace, however, who will hope to convince him that his future lies on this side of the English Channel.
Would Arsenal, Crystal Palace or PSG be the best move for Hassaini?
