Arsenal have reportedly had a £17 million bid rejected by Chelsea for Brazilian defender David Luiz.
Reports in France from Le10 Sport claim that the Gunners are once again interested in signing the player.
Luiz has been heavily linked with a move away from Chelsea this summer after falling out of favour under head coach Antonio Conte.
Arsenal were linked with the player during the January transfer, while Napoli have also been touted as a possible destination for the player this summer.
Unai Emery is reshaping the Arsenal defence this summer with the arrival of Stephan Lichtsteiner and Sokratis set to join from Dortmund.
Should Conte remain in charge at Stamford Bridge beyond the summer, then it is believed that the player will push for a move away from Chelsea.
Luiz lost his place in the Chelsea side to Andreas Christensen, despite playing a key role in the Blues’ title success under Conte.
The Brazilian made only nine Premier League starts for Chelsea last season, featuring just twice domestically during 2018.
