Arsenal are keen on Sampdoria star Lucas Torreira after the Uruguayan's sensational season in Serie A.
Torreira is a tough-tackling midfielder with a sublime range of passing able to dictate play, as well as break up the opposition's flow.
The Blucerchiati star has a €25m (£22m) release clause, which will not deter the Gunners, claim Calciomercato, who could bolster their midfield and potentially upgrade on Granit Xhaka.
Unai Emery will have to hope Arsenal can beat off competition from Liverpool, Everton, Juventus and Napoli though.
The latter have earmarked the Uruguayan international as a replacement for Jorginho, who has interested Manchester City.

Arsenal set to sign Adli from PSG
Arsenal are set to sign Yacine Adli from Paris Saint-Germain.
The France youth international has knocked back PSG's offer in favour of joining the Gunners.
Unai Emery has captured the 17-year-old on a three-year deal, with the option of a further two years, according to Paris United.
An attacking midfielder with an imposing frame, Adli has featured for Les Bleus at Under-16, Under-17 and Under-18 level, scoring 13 times over 33 caps.
Unai Emery's project is believed to have convinced Adli, with the Spaniard having a close look at the talent during his time in the French capital.
PSG reportedly made a bigger financial offer to the player, but Adli is not convinced by the project of the club.

Arsenal offer Ramsey new deal
Arsenal have offered Aaron Ramsey a new deal to stop the Wales star entering the last year of his contract.
The four-year deal would lift the midfielder’s earnings alongside recent signings Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Henrikh Mkhitaryan on around £170,000-a-week.

With Unai Emery joining the club and a new contract team in place, Arsenal are keen to prevent players running down their contracts like Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil last season.
Speaking on the Wales tour to North America earlier this week, Ramsey hinted he would be staying.
“I think it’s an exciting time for the club," Ramsey said. "I can’t wait to get back there now.”
