Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is hoping to raid Lorient for a defender again this summer.
The Mirror believes Arsenal have scouted Lorient defender Bruno Ecuele Manga, 22.
Manga replaced Laurent Koscielny in the Lorient line-up when he signed for Arsenal last summer.
Wenger is eager to add a new centre-half to his squad this summer after a string of dissappoint defensive displays this season.
