The Gunners have now opened talks with PSG over the Spain international, according to Duncan Castles.

Arteta is yet to add to the squad that finished runners-up behind Manchester City last season.

However, Arsenal are close to completing a €50 million deal to sign Bologna defender Riccardo Calafiori.

They have now made a move for Ruiz off the back of his excellent performances for Spain at Euro 2024.

Ruiz joined PSG from Napoli for an initial €21.5 million (£18.5 million) fee in August 2022.

The 28-year-old started 21 games in Ligue 1 during his debut campaign, while under Luis Enrique last season, he started only 14 matches in the league.
