Arsenal face competition from Barcelona for Nice midfielder Jean Michael Seri.
El Mundo Deportivo says Arsenal will have to fight off Barcelona if they are to sign target Seri.
The Gunners have been chasing Seri, who has a £36m release clause in his current contract.
Arsene Wenger is a long term admirer of the Ivory Coast international - with Tottenham and Swansea also keeping tabs on him.
Barcelona, who have £198m sitting in the bank after selling Neymar to Paris Saint-Germain last week, had been keen on former Tottenham flop Paulinho before cooling their interest.
