Arsenal are keeping tabs on Lens midfielder Seko Fofana as Mikel Arteta looks to further bolster his squad amid a busy period of summer activity for the club.
The north London club have moved early this window to secure a number of targets with the signing of Fabio Vieira from Porto having been confirmed and Gabriel Jesus' move to Arsenal expected imminently.
Sportsmail now understands that the club have identified Fofana as a potential addition for their midfield, with Youri Tielemans and Crystal Palace-target Cheick Doucoure also being considered.
