Arsenal target PSG winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in summer squad overhaul
Arsenal are exploring a summer transfer for Paris St-Germain winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia as manager Mikel Arteta plots a significant overhaul of his attacking options.
The 25-year-old has been identified as a primary target to inject greater individual creativity into the squad at Emirates Stadium.
However, any potential deal for the Georgian international is expected to be highly complex, with the French club viewing him as an integral part of their ongoing project.
Financial rules dictate transfer reshuffle
It is understood that the North London side are willing to sanction the departure of established senior players at the end of the current campaign.
This strategy would provide necessary financial headroom as the Premier League transitions towards new Squad Cost Ratio regulations.
Such outgoing business would pave the way for a reshuffle, with the forward line requiring special attention following an intense domestic season.
Champions League pedigree
The former Napoli attacker has enjoyed a stellar European campaign this term, notably scoring three times against Chelsea during the Champions League last-16 stage.
Despite declaring his ambition to become a club legend during an interview last month, representatives for the player remain open to exploring alternative opportunities.
Sources close to the Qatari-owned club insist they will adopt a hardline stance, viewing their prized asset as practically unsellable just a year after securing his signature.
Alvarez remains out of reach
Arteta is also known to be a long-standing admirer of Atletico Madrid forward Julian Alvarez.
A move for the Argentine World Cup winner currently remains unlikely due to a prohibitive valuation of at least £86.5m set by the Spanish outfit.
