Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is chasing Lazio striker Keita Balde Diao.
The Daily Express says Lazio had originally told Liverpool over the summer they wanted £24million for Diao, but it is understood they have lowered their asking price to just £15.5million.
The significant drop in value has alerted Arsene Wenger, who is keen to add another striker to his squad despite signing Danny Welbeck from Manchester United on transfer deadline day.
The futures of Joel Campbell and Yaya Sanogo are up in the air after failing to impress the Emirates faithful, and Wenger is keen for Diao to challenge Welbeck and Olivier Giroud for a place in attack.
