Arsenal make fresh bid for Nabil Fekir

Arsenal have made a fresh approach to sign Real Betis playmaker Nabil Fekir, L'Equipe claims.

The Gunners were heavily linked with Emiliano Buendia this year, but Aston Villa recently beat them to his signature.

They are now looking at alternate options, and it is reported that the club are already in negotiations with Betis over Fekir.

The north London club failed with an opening bid of around £20m for Fekir, and they have now made a fresh proposal.

The Gunners are willing to pay around £26m for the World Cup winner with an additional £10m in the form of add-ons.

It remains to be seen whether they can strike an agreement with the La Liga side. They could yet propose a swap deal.

The Seville outfit are interested in signing Hector Bellerin, and there is a possibility of an exchange deal between the sides.

Bellerin fell out-of-favour during the back end of last season, and he is expected to leave the club this summer.
