Atletico Madrid are interested in a loan deal for Arsenal right-back Cedric Soares.
The Spanish club are keen on striking an initial loan deal for Soares with a view to a permanent deal in the summer.
It is likely that Arsenal will be reluctant to let Soares leave without a replacement owing to a lack of cover at right-back.
Takehiro Tomiyasu is currently first choice, but without Soares the Gunners would be short on cover after Ainsley Maitland-Niles joined Roma on loan.
Diego Simeone's side meanwhile are a right-back short following the sale of Kieran Trippier.
