Arsenal are preparing a swap offer for Sevilla striker Youssef En-Nesyri in January.
La Razon says Gunners boss Mikel Arteta wants to sign the Morocco striker, who has scored 33 goals in 85 games since joining Sevilla, but the LaLiga side are said to value him at £38.5million.
En-Nesyri scored 18 goals in LaLiga last season and already has three in six games this term.
He is contracted with the Spanish side until 2025, meaning they are not under pressure to sell. However, Arsenal hope to bring Sevilla to the table in January by offering Alexandre Lacazette in exchange.
Lacazette is out of contract in the summer and Arsenal risk losing him on a free transfer if they are unable to agree a new contract or get a fee for him in January.
The forward is also able to negotiate a pre-contract agreement with overseas clubs at the start of next year.
