PSG coach Thomas Tuchel insists there's no plans to move for Arsenal outcast Matteo Guendouzi.

There have been suggestions that the French champions were prepared to bid £30million for Guendouzi with Arsenal keen to raise funds to bring in summer targets Thomas Partey (Atletico Madrid) and Houssem Aouar (Lyon).

But when asked about a move for Guendouzi in the wake of PSG's 1-0 loss at newly-promoted Lens on Thursday night, PSG boss Tuchel said: "No, that will not happen."

Tuchel did confirm that PSG want to sign the Roma captain Alessandro Florenzi to replace Thomas Meunier, the right-back who has joined Borussia Dortmund.

"I hope that will be resolved. I am very optimistic for him," Tuchel said.
