Gabriel Magalhaes has emerged as a serious target for Arsenal, while the Gunners are hopeful of finalising a deal to sign Chelsea winger Willian.
Lille centre-back Gabriel is a wanted man this summer, with clubs from across Europe in discussions with the Ligue 1 side about a possible deal.
Goal can confirm that Arsenal are one of the clubs in the running for the Brazil Under-20s international, but a firm offer has yet to be made for a player also being eyed by Manchester United.
