Laporte has been inextricably linked in recent days with a move to Manchester United, albeit they would have to trigger his £31.5m release clause.
Arsenal's problems have been well documented this season, and though they have agreed a £11.3m deal for Gabriel Paulista, Laporte has come onto their radar.

Laporte also admitted he's not sure where he will be in five years time.
He added: "In five years? Wow, I’ve got no idea! I hope a full international for France, or fighting to get in the squad regularly. That would be a big plus."
