ARSENAL have opened talks over a deal for Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Christopher Nkunku becoming Aaron Ramsey’s replacement.

Gunners boss Unai Emery has swooped for the 21-year-old after working with him during his two years at the French giants.

Nkunku has been earmarked as a successor to Ramsey.

The Welsh star is leaving the club in the summer for Juventus as a free agent.

And Emery is hoping to land the PSG youngster on a six-month loan with a view to a permanent deal in the summer. 

Nkunku has not started a Ligue 1 game since November.

And he will be allowed to leave PSG for the right price. 

But the deal will rest on Thomas Tuchel lining up a replacement for the rest of the season.

Meanwhile the Gunners’ bid to bring in Denis Suarez this month from Barcelona looks doomed.

The Spanish giants are demanding a guaranteed fee to make the move permanent following a loan until June for the midfielder.
