Versatile Monaco defender Tisserand, who can operate at centre-half and also at right-back, has been the subject of enquiries by both the Gunners and also the Premier League champions Leicester city.
Leicester City are set to rival Arsenal for the signing of highly-rated Monaco defender Marcel Tisserand.
The Gunners are keen to sign a new centre-back before the transfer window closes and have stepped up their interest in Tisserand after missing out on Valencia's Shkodran Mustafi.
