Arsenal are discussing a deal for £20million-rated Barcelona attacking midfielder Denis Suarez.
The 24-year-old, who had a two year spell with Manchester City, played for Arsenal boss Unai Emery while on loan at Sevilla.
Capped once by Spain, Suarez has made just six appearances this season, including one as a substitute in the Champions League draw with Tottenham. He is eager to play more regularly and Arsenal would like to take him on an initial loan.
