The Mirror have reported Atletico Madrid will be reluctant to sell the £25m-rated France international forward, however.
Reinforcement are needed at Stamford Bridge, with the Premier League champions Chelsea languishing in 14th place, 17 points behind leaders Leicester, and three points ahead of the relegation zone.
Arsenal could boost their injury-hit midfield with the capture of Lucas Moura from Paris Saint-German, according to reports in France.
French outlet BuzzSport have reported that the Gunners are interested in the 23-year-old Brazil winger, who could cost £30m. He has been on the periphery of a place in the PSG XI this season.
In addition, the Gunners have also been looking at Porto midfielder Ruben Neves. The Metro have reported that Arsenal scouts have been watching the 18-year-old and are set to make an opening £22m bid for the highly-rated defensive midfielder.
Jamie Vardy's prolific form this season for Leicester City, he has scored 14 goals in the league, means he has been brought to the attention of the top sides in Europe. This week he has been linked with Gary Neville's Valencia. The Daily Star have reported that Neville, who also works as a coach for England, is a massive admirer of the 28-year-old striker. Neville takes charge of his first match for the Spanish club on Wednesday, in the Champions League against Lyon.
