According to a report in The Sun, the 22 year-old, who has scored six times in 12 games for his club this season, is aware of Wenger's interest and has been in talks with France team mates Abou Diaby and Bacary Sagna about what life at the Emirates is like.
With interest also coming from AC Milan, Lyon and Bordeaux, Arsenal are likely to have to pay upwards of £14 million for the forward, who only signed for Nice 18 months ago.

"They tell me that when you are at Arsenal you want to stay there your entire career."
But R? hinted that a move would not be done in January and added: "In terms of leaving Nice, I got my first international cap with this club and I see no reason to go to the World Cup as anything but a Nice player."
Meanwhile, Wenger is also understood to have his eye QPR's 14-year-old striking prodigy Raheem Sterling.
Liverpool, Manchester United and Manchester City are also believed to have shown interest in the forward, but with him being so young, remaining in London seems the most suitable solution.
