Arsenal have made an approach for Arda Turan, according to reports in his native Turkey.
The Gunners were strongly linked with the Barcelona midfielder in the summer but decided against tabling an offer.
However, Arsene Wenger is said to have reignited his interest in the 30-year-old and has started work on a January deal.
Turan joined Barca for £24m back in July 2015 but has struggled to hold down a regular first-team place and is eager to move on when the transfer window re-opens.
According to CNN in Turkey, Arsenal have already been in contact with the player’s representatives about a potential switch to north London.
