According to the Mirror, Arsenal are hoping to sign the 21-year-old forward by taking advantage of PSG’s need to balance their books.
The Ligue 1 giants are under pressure from Uefa to control their finances after committing to £366million in transfer fees last summer after signing Neymar and Kylian Mbappe.
Guedes – who was the first 18-year-old to represent Portugal since Cristiano Ronaldo – is serving a season-long loan at Valencia where he has been instrumental in the club’s challenge to Barcelona in La Liga.
The job of signing the starlet will fall to new head of football relations Raul Sanllehi who will use his contacts gained at Barcelona to secure Guedes.
The Gunners will look to the Portuguese international to help fill the vacuum left by their best players.
Sanchez’s contract with Arsenal is up at the end of the season and the Chilean looks likely to depart and be released from the clutches of Arsene Wenger.
The wantaway forward had one foot out the door last summer and ready to move to the Etihad after a deal was agreed with Manchester City.
However the deal the deal fell through last minute when the Gunners pursuit of Monaco’s Tomas Lemar broke down.
