ARSENAL have allegedly expressed an interest in signing Marcus Thuram from Inter Milan.
The Gunners failed to sign a new striker this summer despite being linked with the likes of Benjamin Sesko, Viktor Gyokeres and Victor Osimhen.
Mikel Arteta is still understood to be keen on the idea of signing a striker in January or next summer.
And French forward Thuram is reportedly a target.
According to Inter Live, the Gunners have been linked with a swap deal that would see Gabriel Jesus join Inter Milan.
However, the Italian giants would also likely demand a “substantial” fee.
Jesus joined Arsenal from Manchester City two years ago but has struggled with several injury issues.
Arteta now regularly starts Kai Havertz in the No9 position.
Arsenal could decide to sell the Brazilian next year if they can find a strong enough replacement.
Meanwhile, Thuram has scored four goals and provided two assists in just three games so far this season.
