Having ended the season on a disappointing note by missing out on Champions League football, Arsenal are understandably trying to get on the front foot in the transfer market this summer.

The Gunners have been linked with a host of names in recent weeks and following the side's struggles out wide during the last campaign, the north Londoners are actively looking to fix that with a new winger.

According to French publication Paris United, Nancy winger Bilel Hassaini has turned down the opportunity to join PSG and now Arsenal and Barcelona are the current front-runners for the 18-year-old's signature.

The links to the teenager saw Gunners fans flock to Twitter to reveal their thoughts on the transfer target and many were reasonably excited at the prospect of the talented youngster heading to the Emirates.

Many pointed out that at such a young age, Hassaini could really flourish at Arsenal next season under the guidance of Unai Emery and suggested that fending off competition from Barcelona in signing him could be seen as a "real coup".

Some however were far less impressed by a potential move and questioned whether the Frenchman was the sort of marquee signing the club needed - indeed, a few urged the Gunners to give the side's academy products like Reiss Nelson and Bukayo Saka a chance in the first-team instead of trying to bring young players in from abroad.
