Paris Saint-Germain have made an approach to sign Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli, in keeping with reports in France.

The 24-year-old is currently in his seventh season with Arsenal having joined in a £6 million deal from Brazilian side Ituano in 2019.

Martinelli has scored 62 goals in 271 appearances for the Gunners but has struggled for consistency within the Premier League this season with only one goal scored up to now.

PSG, meanwhile, are available in the market to strengthen their attack and have Martinelli on their shortlist ahead of the summer transfer window.

In accordance with L’Equipe, Luis Campos has held talks with Martinelli’s representatives over a summer move for the Brazil international.

The report adds that PSG have also had discussions to sign RB Leipzig’s highly rated 19-year-old winger Yan Diomande, who can also be wanted by Manchester United and Liverpool.

Earlier this month, the BBC reported that Arsenal can be open to selling Martinelli in the summertime transfer window and are also able to take heed to offers for Gabriel Jesus, Ben White, Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly.

Last 12 months, Arsenal were understood to have demanded a £50m transfer fee for Martinelli with Bayern Munich expressing an interest.
