According to The Independent, the Gunners are exploring a potential deal for Kvaratskhelia, who has three years remaining on his contract at the Parc des Princes. The report claims that the 25-year-old's entourage is open to exploring their options.
It's said that the French giants view Kvaratskhelia as a key player and would likely be 'very resistant' to letting him go, making any potential deal 'complicated'. Since joining PSG from Napoli for £59m, plus add-ons, the Georgia international has established himself as one of the best wingers in the world.
This season, despite playing just over 2,000 minutes, he's already scored 12 goals and provided seven assists across all competitions. Kvaratskhelia has previously been linked with a move to the Premier League, but a deal has never materialised.

Speaking on CBS Sports on Paramount+ in March 2023, when the Georgian was still at Napoli, Henry sang his praises. The Arsenal legend said: "Kvaratskhelia is special.
"I saw him play once against Spain, and I thought, 'that kid is not bad', and the coach of the national team is Willy Sagnol [who featured 91 times alongside Henry for Monaco and France].

"He said, 'I have a world-class player in my team'. I thought, 'What the hell is he talking about?!' Well, nobody doubts what he said. What I like about him is he is scared of nobody, and he has strength
"Have some of my legs, and vision, and he can do it. Dribbling, passing or an early pass. Very Eden Hazard-like. He is brilliant. He can do anything. Press. Dribble and assist. The balance, composure and vision."
Henry added: "I think he reminds me of Eden. Let’s give the big man his credit. I know he is struggling, at the minute. But he is strong on his legs. People don’t realise that. When you try to kick him.

"He stands and looks at you and tries to turn you. He reminds me of Eden, the way he balances it out. Play off that nine. Oh, the nine isn’t there? Then I go alone. I really like him."
Despite question marks over his future, Kvaratskhelia has claimed he's happy at PSG. Earlier this month, the Georgian told French outlet Le Parisien: "Paris, for me, is truly incredible.
"You have everything here, and on top of that, it’s the city of love. When PSG called me, I think my wife was the happiest person in the world. Before PSG contacted me, she always said, ‘Imagine if we played for PSG one day, it would be incredible to live there.’
"I would reply, ‘Yes, of course.’ But in my mind, I thought it was very difficult to go there when there were such amazing players like [Lionel] Messi, Neymar and [Kylian] Mbappe.
"I love Paris, I love everything about Paris. The more I think about it, the more I appreciate how respectful people are. When you go out, they don't bother you much.
"At a restaurant, for example, they ask before taking a photo. I really like that. It's the best city to stroll around in with your wife."
