Arsenal are reportedly ready to lock horns with Paris Saint-Germain over the signature of Lyon playmaker Lucas Paqueta this summer.

The 24-year-old was heavily linked with a move to Newcastle United in January, but the Ligue 1 champions had no plans of selling him.

Meanwhile, the Brazilian could be on the verge of moving somewhere else during the next transfer window.

According to Calciomercato, PSG are eyeing a move for the attacking midfielder, but they could face stiff competition from the Gunners.

It is understood, Lyon are likely to demand around €45m for Paqueta, who has contributed eight goals and five assists for Les Gones this term.
