Arsenal set for £64m spending spree on Ligue 1 trio.
Arsenal are preparing to pay as much as £64m to sign three new players from Ligue 1 this summer, with the Gunners looking to strengthen in a number of areas.
An opening day defeat to West Ham served as a wake-up call to Arsene Wenger, and although his side bounced back with a win at Crystal Palace this weekend, there still looks like room for improvement.
According to reports today, these are the three France-based stars Arsenal could be set to bring in:
1) Edinson Cavani (PSG)
In a £35.5m deal, Arsenal are set to revive their interest in signing Paris Saint-Germain striker Edinson Cavani, who would be a significant upgrade on Olivier Giroud up front.

2) Ezequiel Lavezzi (PSG)
Secondly, Arsenal also want to raid PSG for the signing of Argentine winger Ezequiel Lavezzi, and have supposedly been offered the former Napoli man for just £8.5m.
3) Adrien Rabiot (PSG)
A fine French youngster, PSG midfielder Adrien Rabiot could be a useful addition alongside Francis Coquelin in the Arsenal midfield engine room, and it is rumoured that he could move for around £20m.
