Arsenal eye Ligue 1 duo?

Arsenal are reportedly preparing bids for Monaco defender Aymen Abdennour and Lyon winger Nabil Fekir.

Abdennour, 25, has played a key role at the back for Monaco this season, while 21-year-old Fekir has scored 12 goals for Lyon.

The Gunners are understood to have been quoted around £15m for Fekir. Abdennour, whose contract at the Stade Louis II is due to end in 2019, has been repeatedly linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium.

Arsene Wenger could now swoop for the pair as he looks to mount a Premier League title challenge with his side next season, according to The Metro.

Arsenal continue their league campaign on Monday when they host Swansea City.
