Ruffier, 27, has been given until the 30th June to complete a switch by his club, according to French newspaper But!

Italian trio Napoli, Roma and AC Milan are all said to be interested in Ruffier, along with Champions League runners-up Atletico Madrid.

With No.2 Lukasz Fabianksi quitting the Gunners for Premier League rivals Swansea, boss Arsene Wenger is on the lookout for competition for first-choice keeper Wojciech Szczesny.

St Etienne are thought to be open to selling the player they signed from Monaco in 2011 as long as the deal goes through by the end of June, providing them with a long enough window to secure a replacement.

And that could suit Arsenal, as they seek to nip in and secure his signature before the World Cup gets underway.

Wenger's side have been linked with a host of top goalkeeping talent this summer, including Malaga's Willy Caballero and Real Madrid ace Iker Casillas.

But! also report Wenger has made enquiries for Nancy keeper Paul Nardi, 20, and Nice's 25-year-old Colombian David Ospina.

The French boss was also linked with a move for Brighton and Hove Albion youngster Christian Walton at the weekend.
