All the latest Arsenal transfer news and rumours from across the British and European press on Wednesday, June 14.

France's impressive win over England may have reinforced Arsene Wenger's desire to add to French contingent at Arsenal, according to the Telegraph.

The paper reports that the Gunners are working on deals for Monaco pair Kylian Mbappe and Thomas Lemar, who both played in Les Bleus' 3-2 victory, as well as their long-running interest in Alexandre Lacazette.

The Lyon forward, who was an unused substitute against England on Tuesday night, could cost around £60m - though French outlet Le 10 Sport reports that France team-mate Olivier Giroud could be offered for him in part-exchange. West Ham are also linked with Giroud in the London Evening Standard.
