Arsenal will reportedly launch a bid to sign Villarreal midfielder Pablo Fornals in January, with the player said to have a £17.8 million release clause in his contract.
Aaron Ramsey's expected departure from the Emirates Stadium next year has pushed manager Unai Emery to consider reinforcements, and the Mirror's Robert O'Connor reported Fornals, 22, has caught his attention.
Former Sevilla coach Emery may be familiar with Fornals from his time in La Liga, and the attacking midfielder has increased his profile after impressing in his second campaign with the Yellow Submarine.
