Arsenal have reportedly joined Nottingham Forest in the race to sign Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder Djibril Sow.
Forest had a £17million bid turned down for the 25-year-old in the summer, with the Bundesliga side holding out for a bigger fee before selling their star midfield man.
Fellow Premier League club Arsenal have now entered the race ahead of the January window, according to German newspaper BILD, who also say it would take a "lucrative" offer for Eintracht Frankfurt to sell Sow.

The ball is very much in their court, with Sow under contract in Frankfurt until the summer of 2024. He is highly regarded there, having been part of the team that won the Europa League last season - beating Rangers in the final.
Sow has notched up over 100 Bundesliga appearances and 35 caps for Switzerland to date. This season, he has scored twice in 15 league games but did not record a goal in his six Champions League appearances.
