  "textContent": "Mikel Arteta is hoping to raid PSG to strengthen his attack this summer (Picture: Getty)\n\nParis Saint-Germain’s plans to reshape their attack this summer has offered Arsenal encouragement in their own attempts to strengthen their forward line.\n\nThe Gunners have made no secret of their desire to build on last season’s landmark Premier League title–winning campaign and add more firepower to a squad that relied heavily on its defensive strengths.\n\nWith the futures of Leandro Trossard, Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus unsure, there are likely to be spaces up for grabs in Arteta’s squad come the start of the new season.\n\nA left-sided winger is seen as the priority with Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers a prime candidate.\n\n##  Don't miss a World Cup moment\n\nLionel Messi’s hat-trick. Cape Verde’s heroics. Those Scottish fans.\n\nIt’s been a memorable World Cup so far – our daily newsletter helps you make the most of it. Sign up.\n\nArsenal are also monitoring Bradley Barcola’s situation at PSG who, according to the Independent, would prefer to keep the 23-year-old, but that stance would likely change were they to sign their own top attacking targets.\n\nThe back-to-back Champions League winners, themselves, retain interest in Rogers and another striker on Arsenal’s radar in Julian Alvarez.\n\nBarcola, meanwhile, has played a key role in PSG’s success over the course of Luis Enrique’s reign but has fallen slightly down the pecking order in recent months given the strength of a star studded forward line that also includes Ousmane Dembele, Desire Doue and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.\n\nBradley Barcola scored in France’s 3-1 win against Senegal (Picture: Getty)\n\nThe 23-year-old was restricted to the role of super-sub for his country on Tuesday night as well, and enhanced his reputation with a lively cameo in France’s 3-1 win over Senegal.\n\nComing off the bench to replace his club teammate Dembele, Barcola doubled his side’s lead with an clever, dinked finish just two minutes after he had entered the fray.\n\nPSG signed Barcola from Ligue 1 rivals Lyon for a €45 million fee three years ago.\n\nBradley Barcola has played a key role in back-to-back Champions League triumphs for PSG (Picture: Getty)\n\nThe versatile forward is under contract until 2028 and he had hoped to begin talks over an extension earlier this year.\n\nNegotiations, however, were not forthcoming and put on hold with PSG’s focus on retaining the Champions League.\n\nNearly a month on from that triumph and Barcola is reportedly still waiting for any for any movement and will have to wait until after the World Cup if progress is to be made.\n\nComment now Comments \nAdd Metro as a Preferred Source on Google\nAdd as preferred source\n",
