Arsenal could lose out to Leicester City in the battle to sign Said Benrahma this summer, according to the Daily Express.
Arsenal are very keen on the £25 million winger, who has been so impressive in the Championship.
However, it is Leicester who are currently said to be at the head of the queue for his signature.
Benrahma may want to follow in the footsteps of his fellow Algerian, Riyad Mahrez, who developed into one of the best wingers in the Premier League at the King Power Stadium.
The Foxes also look likely to be able to offer Benrahma Champions League football, which may not be possible for Arsenal.
The Gunners are currently in ninth place, and despite improvements under Mikel Arteta they will have to finish the season very strongly to have any chance of making it into the top four.
Benrahma could have been an appealing addition for Arsenal as he would have added skill and creativity to their attack, which could look very different next campaign.
Doubts have emerged over the futures of Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette, and if the pair do depart, Arteta will surely need additions to cover for their losses.
