Arsenal sporting director Edu has made contact with the agent of Lyon midfielder Lucas Paqueta over a move but is yet to make a formal offer, according to reports. The Brazilian has been heavily linked with a move to the Emirates this summer as the Gunners continue their summer build.
The transfer window has been a busy one so far for Mikel Arteta. The Spaniard has already made four signings, spending over £80million in improving the quality and depth of his squad heading into the next campaign.
That could soon increase to five additions as Arsenal agreed a £30million fee for Oleksandr Zinchenko from Manchester City. The 25-year-old is said to have signed a four-year deal with the side ahead of the move.
