Arsenal are reportedly weighing up a potential move to sign a member of Luis Enrique's Paris Saint-Germain squad in the upcoming transfer window.

Arsenal are reportedly interested in signing Paris Saint-Germain attacker Lee Kang-in this summer.

The Gunners will be looking to get the better of PSG when the two sides face off in Wednesday's Champions League semi-final second leg in France.

Mikel Arteta's side have work to do in the return fixture after losing 1-0 in last week's first leg at the Emirates Stadium.

While the two sides will lock horns on Wednesday, Arsenal could make an attempt to do business with the French champions in the summer transfer window.

Arsenal considering Lee move

According to The Sun, Arsenal are weighing up whether to pursue a deal to sign PSG's Lee ahead of the 2025-26 campaign.

The Gunners could renew their interest after being linked with a potential move for the South Korea international in the summer transfer window.

PSG are believed to be open to offloading the versatile attacker despite the fact that he still has three years left on his contract.

The French champions want to recoup the majority of the £18.7m that they paid to sign Lee from Spanish side Mallorca in 2023.

As a result, they will not entertain offers below the £17m mark, but that still presents Arsenal with the chance to secure his signature at an affordable price.

Lee heading towards PSG exit

Lee is expected to seek a move away this summer after being left unhappy with his playing time during his two seasons at Parc des Princes.

After having to settle for 24 starts in 36 appearances last term, Lee has only started 25 of his 44 competitive matches in the current campaign.

The former Mallorca man will hope to find a new club that can offer him a regular starting spot to prove that he can play at the elite level.

He would add great versatility to any of his potential suitors, having proven he can play on either flank, as a number 10 or as a false nine.
