Arsenal have tabled an offer for PSG youngster Emmanuel Mbemba on a free transfer, according to reports. The 18-year-old defender recently led PSG's U19 team to victory in the Coupe Gambardella final against Montpellier.

Mbemba has received a contract proposal from PSG to remain in France. But sources say he's holding out for a summer exit instead.

The teenager can operate as a centre-back or left-back. Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is eager to strengthen his squad during the upcoming window.

Whether Mbemba will ultimately make the switch to the Premier League remains unclear. The deal hasn't been finalized yet, insiders told reporters.
