BBC Sport reported in June that Arsenal are firm admirers of Barcola, and have received encouragement that he could be available this summer.

And now according to French newspaper L’Equipe, Barcola is set to hold talks with the PSG hierarchy following the conclusion of the World Cup.

The same outlet claims Barcola, who scored three goals for World Cup semi-finalists France, is valued at €150million (£127m) by Luis Enrique’s PSG.

L’Equipe claims Barcola, 23, and PSG had been in talks over a new contract, but discussions were put on hold until after the World Cup.

Barcola, who is regarded as one of Europe’s most exciting wingers, has just two years left on his existing terms with the Ligue 1 giants.

Arsenal turn to Barcola after missing out on Rogers

The news comes after Arsenal missed out on signing Morgan Rogers to Chelsea, who agreed a €137m (£117m) fee with Aston Villa on Saturday.

Rogers was a top target for Arsenal this summer, according to The Athletic, but the England international preferred a move to Chelsea.

The same publication understands Rogers’ valuation exceeded Arsenal’s expectations, however, paving the way for Chelsea to hijack the transfer.

Rogers will undergo a medical with Chelsea on Monday ahead of signing a six-year contract with Xabi Alonso’s side, according to The Athletic.
