Arsenal have reportedly identified Adil Rami as a transfer target during this summer's window.
The Valencia defender had been expected to join AC Milan, having spent the last six months on loan with the Spanish side, but the club are thought to be reluctant to meet the La Liga team's £5.5m price tag.
According to The Express, the Gunners and Marseille are both interested in the 28-year-old Frenchman should the Milan deal fall through.
Rami made the loan move to Milan after falling out with his parent club.
