Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has revealed he is interested in signing Lyon winger Hatem Ben Arfa.
Ben Arfa is one of the most sought-after young players in Europe after impressing for Lyon in the last few seasons.
Manchester United were linked with a move for Ben Arfa and team-mate Karim Benzema last month, while Spurs have held a long-term interest in the former.
The 21-year-old still has two years to run on his contract and Lyon are hoping to tie him down to a new long-term deal.
Wenger is a big admirer of his fellow Frenchman and admits he would be at the head of the queue if Ben Arfa became available.
Arsenal have also been linked with a move for Barnsley goalkeeper Heinz Muller.
Muller impressed earlier this season at Oakwell before suffering a serious knee injury which has ruled him out for the rest of the season.
Wenger could be in the market for a new keeper in the summer as doubts surround the future of Jens Lehmann.
