Arsenal are reportedly keeping tabs on Nantes midfielder Jordan Veretout, with the view to making a move next summer.
The 21-year-old has been strongly linked with a move to Spain but, according to The Mirror, Arsenal have entered the race for the France Under-21 international.
It is believed that Veretout has a £4m buy-out clause in his current contract, which is due to run until 2017.
Veretout has scored six times in the league for Nantes this season.
