Arsenal have stepped up their interest in Inter Milan defender Achraf Hakimi, according to reports in Italy.
The Serie A leaders have slapped a €50million (£43m) price tag on the 22-year-old, who joined from Real Madrid in a deal worth £34m last summer.
According to Italian website CalcioMercato, the Gunners have identified Hakimi as a potential replacement for Hector Bellerin should he leave the club.
Hakimi has established himself as integral part of Antonio Conte's side, contributing six goals and six assists in 34 appearances in Serie A.
