Arsenal are keeping an eye on Stefan de Vrij's contract situation at Lazio amid further links with Chelsea.
According to reports in Italy, the Dutch defender is now on the Gunners' radar with his contract situation still not resolved.
De Vrij's current deal runs out in 2018 and Lazio are hoping to tie him down to fresh terms which will also include a hefty release clause.
However both Arsenal and Chelsea have been given hope in their pursuit with the 24-year-old still seemingly no closer to putting pen to paper on a new deal.
