European media outlet Get French News has claimed the midfield enforcer is keen on a switch to the Emirates.
It was claimed earlier this week that the Gunners have been working on a deal to secure his services.
It's thought the Premier League giants held talks with the Frenchman in London earlier this week.
Arsene Wenger is desperate to land the 25-year-old and team him up with January signing Mohamed Elneny.
And it's claimed Arsenal want a deal done before the start of Euro 2016, which kicks off on June 10.
Kante reportedly has a £20m release clause in his contract and has also attracted interest from Chelsea and Paris St-Germain.
The coveted ace has been included in France's squad for Euro 2016 after making his debut in March.
