Arsenal have reportedly been offered Argentine striker Mauro Icardi as part of a deal for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Having been frozen out at Inter Milan, where he was previously captain, Icardi was loaned out to PSG for the season.
He's been in fine form, banging 20 goals in 31 appearances for the Ligue one champions, but the club may struggle to cough up the £56 million fee Inter are reportedly asking for his services despite having the option to boy.
And according to Tuttosport, it could lead to a swap deal that would see Icardi join Arsenal while Gunners skipper and talisman Aubameyang heads to Milan for a second spell.
The Gabon international joined AC Milan in 2007 but failed to make a single first-team appearance and was loaned out three times before signing for St-Etienne.

Aubameyang's current Arsenal deal expires in 2021 and although he's been offered an extension, the former Dortmund forward has not shown much interest in putting pen to paper.
Given he's turning 31 next month, Aubameyang knows he needs to be moving on if he wants to add to the two major honours he has won in his career thus far.
For Arsenal, it may be that they are forced to let their star player go in order to at least recoup some of the fee they splashed out to land him in January 2018.

The potential arrival of Icardi, a proven goalscorer at the highest level, would also soften the blow of losing Aubameyang.
Aubameyang has more than justified the club-record £56 million Arsenal paid to land him, having bagged an impressive 61 goals in 91 appearances.
