Steven N’Zonzi has told Sevilla he wants to leave, putting Arsenal on red alert.
The Frenchman has long been a target for the Gunners and now it seems he is ready to push for a move back to the Premier League.
The 29-year-old, who is currently competing at the World Cup with France, is especially keen to reunite with former boss Unai Emery, according to The Sun.
N'Nonzi has a £35million release clause in his contract and Arsenal will need to cough up if they're serious about signing the midfielder.
Arsenal will have competition for the Sevilla star, however, with Juventus also apparently interested in acquiring his services.

Arsenal and Liverpool receive major boost in pursuit of Portugal star Gelson Martins
Gelson Martins will not leave Sporting for Benfica this summer - handing Premier League clubs a transfer boost, writes Mirror Football's Danny Wittenberg.
The Sporting winger - home from the World Cup after making just one substitute appearance as the Euro 2016 winners crashed out to Uruguay - is a free agent after terminating his contract in Lisbon.
Gelson was one of several players who left Sporting due to safety concerns.
On the eve of their Portuguese Cup Final, a group of ultras invaded the club's training ground and attacked players and staff following their failure to qualify for the Champions League.

As a result, a number of clubs have seemingly thrown their hats in the ring to sign 23-year-old and at one stage it appeared the winger was set for a controversial move to major rivals Benfica.
However, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea and Liverpool are all understood to be interested in signing the youngster, who scored 24 goals in 96 games for Sporting and their reserves.
Now the quartet of English clubs have received a massive boost after the player's agent, Ulisses Santos, set the record straight about the chances of Gelson jumping ship in the Portuguese league.

And now it appears Gomes is on his radar as he ponders a £30million move for the Portuguese midfielder, according to the Independent.
The 24-year-old made 31 appearances in all competitions for the Catalans last season and Emery could offer him regular first-team football in north London.
