ARSENAL are set to be offered the chance to sign Paris Saint-Germain forward Randal Kolo-Muani in January, according to reports.
The Gunners could be on the lookout for attacking reinforcements next month after losing Bukayo Saka to injury last week.

Saka looks set to miss an extended period after leaving Selhurst Park on crutches with a torn hamstring.
But Arteta and Co could be handed an attacking lifeline in PSG star Kolo-Muani with The Standard reporting the Parisians may offer the versatile striker to Arsenal in January.
They claim that the north London outfit are one of a number of clubs that PSG could offer Kolo-Muani to in the coming weeks.
The French international, 26, has struggled for game time this season and would benefit from a loan move elsewhere.
Kolo-Muani has made just two starts in Ligue 1 this term, despite his mega £75m transfer from Eintracht Frankfurt in 2023.
Despite mainly operating as a striker, Kolo-Muani is often able to play off the left and right hand side, meaning he could help provide cover for Saka if he was to join Arsenal.
Arsenal aren’t currently thought to be looking for a new wide forward in January, but injury to Saka and Raheem Sterling could force their hand.
Speaking ahead of his side’s clash with Ipswich on Friday, Arteta reiterated that point but kept his options open for a potential arrival in January.

“My focus honestly now is just about within the squad, the resources we have to be as competitive as we possibly can,” he said.
“We have many, many options to do that. And if something unbelievable [becomes] available and if the club is willing to do it, we’ll have to consider it.”
