ARSENAL are considering a move for Paris Saint-Germain defender Layvin Kurzawa, according to reports in France.

Arsenal are in need of a new left-back to replace the ageing Nacho Monreal and out-of-favour Kieran Gibbs.

And according to French broadcaster Sport Mediaset, the Gunners have set their sights on Paris Saint-Germain's Layvin Kurzawa.

The report says the north London club will forge ahead with a move for the Frenchman, despite the uncertainty surrounding Arsene Wenger's future.

And the Premier League side are said to be weighing up an offer in the region of £17million for the 24-year-old.

Kurzawa has emerged has one of the top attacking left-backs over the last few seasons with PSG.

He has made 20 appearances for the Ligue 1 champions this term, scoring two goals and providing two assists.
And the Gunners' meagre £17m bid may not be enough to tempt PSG into selling the defender who is under contract until June 2020.

Kurzawa is a product of Monaco's academy and made 75 appearances for the club before joining PSG in 2015.

He is also a France international with six caps, but was not part of Didier Deschamps' Euro 2016 squad.
