Arsenal have made a first offer for Galatasaray fullback Sacha Boey.
Gunners chief Edu has been following the France U21 international for much of this season.
And Turkish journalist Nevzat Dindar reports a 17m bid has been made for the defender.
Gala have rejected the offer, but Arsenal are expected to return with a new proposal.
The Turkish giants are seeking closer to 22-23m to sell Boey.
