Nzonzi is one of the candidates to replace Aaron Ramsey if the captaincy candidate does not sign a new contract at the Emirates.
Arsenal's north London rivals Tottenham has also been interested in N’Zonzi’s signing, as well as Barcelona, this summer as they look to add to their midfield options.
Kevin Trapp from PSG
Kevin Trapp signed a five-year deal with Ligue 1 champions PSG on 8 July 2015 for a fee of around € 10 m. During the 2015/16 season he overtook Salvatore Sirigu as PSG's first choice goalkeeper in the club's Ligue 1 and UEFA Champions League matches.
Ousmane Dembele from Barca
On 25 August 2017, La Liga side Barcelona announced that they had reached an agreement to sign Dembélé for €105 million plus a reported €40 million add-ons.
Barcelona had just sold Neymar to Paris Saint-Germain for €222 million, so the deal meant that Dembélé became the joint-second most expensive player (in euros), along with Paul Pogba.
Lorenzo Pellegrini from Roma
On 30 June 2017, Roma exercised the buy-back clause of €10 million, which was included in Pellegrini's transfer agreement with Sassuolo, to bring him back to Rome on a five-year deal. On the same day, Roma youth product Federico Ricci joined Sassuolo outright, for €3 million fee. Pellegrini scored his first-ever goal for the club on 1 December 2017, netting Roma's third goal in a 3–1 league win over SPAL.
M'Baye Niang from Torino
On 31 August 2017, Niang signed for Torino on a season-long loan deal with obligation to buy.
Arsenal can make a move for M'Baye Niang after Torino rejected an approach from Nice.
According to Tutto Mercato, Nice have made an approach to take Niang on loan for the duration of the upcoming campaign.
Torino have rejected the offer and are holding out for a permanent deal worth around £12.5m.
