Arsenal's ongoing hunt for a midfielder has seen a host of names linked with the Gunners this summer, and the latest player Mikel Arteta is reportedly interested in is Lyon's Lucas Paqueta.
That's according to French Outlet Media Foot, reporting that Arsenal are 'pushing hard' to beat Newcastle United for Paqueta's signature. The Magpies have shown strong interest in the Brazilian this summer, with Lyon valuing their star midfielder at around £58 million.
The Gunners have been busy in the transfer market already ahead of next season, with four new faces joining Arsenal's squad including Gabriel Jesus and midfielder Fabio Viera - the latter signed from FC Porto for £34m including add-ons. Arteta is expected to try and sign at least one new midfielder ahead of next season, with Leicester City's Youri Tielemans also heavily linked.
