Arsenal have reportedly been in touch with Bordeaux about Gaetan Laborde, determined to challenge Liverpool to sign the striker.
French website Foot Mercato has claimed that the Gunners have made an enquiry to understand if Bordeaux are ready to sell the 23-year-old.
Manager Arsene Wenger is keeping an eye on the player just in case he misses out on one of his primary targets.
Arsenal have identified Kylian Mbappe and Alexandre Lacazette as the two main targets to strengthen the offensive department.
But the youngster might end up at Real Madrid and the 26-year-old is still eager to join Atletico Madrid in the Spanish Liga.
The North Londoners have signed only Sead Kolasinac so far this summer but are expected to conclude at least two more transfers before the start of pre-season.
