Arsenal receive £85m transfer encouragement to sign star they 'regret' missing out on

reportedly 'regret' missing out on signing Desire Doue last summer before his move to . The forward has enjoyed a sensational campaign with Les Parisiens, scoring 13 goals and registering 11 assists in 46 appearances in all competitions.

PSG spent £42million to sign the 18-year-old from Rennes, and that money is already appearing to be well-spent. Luis Enrique's side have already won the Ligue 1 title and shifted their attention to their semi-final clash with the Gunners.

Arsenal will be hoping that their ex-target Doue does not leave them ruing the missed opportunity any further, though the chance to watch the No. 14 in action home and away could be seen as an ideal scouting opportunity.

According to , PSG would be willing to listen to offers in excess of £85million this summer - though that fee could rise even further depending on how the remainder of the campaign pans out in the French capital.

and have both shown interest in signing the forward, with among his long-term admirers as well.

Arsenal are also cited as a club that could reignite their interest in Doue as they 'regret' missing out on signing the teenager previously, and PSG's willingness to even discuss a bid for their star prospect could provide them with encouragement to seriously consider a move.

Nevertheless, Doue remains 'fully committed' to the French outfit and hopes to lead the club to Champions League glory. A move away from the Parc des Princes is therefore viewed as unlikely at the end of the season, but a significant bid from one of his suitors would give the higher powers at PSG something to think about.

Arsenal are expected to splash the cash at the end of the season, with Mikel Arteta hoping to welcome reinforcements in every department. The Gunners have struggled with their lack of attacking depth throughout the campaign, and a No. 9 signing is expected.

However, it is not just a striker signing required at the Emirates Stadium. Arsenal have struggled when both Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka have been ruled out through injuries, and therefore Doue's versatility across the frontline could prove very useful. The Frenchman has also thrived as a No. 10 previously and could rotate with Martin Odegaard in that role as well.
