Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has made Schalke midfielder Max Meyer a priority target this summer.
The Daily Star says Wenger has made Meyer as a top target for the summer window.
The 22-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season.

Schalke are keen to tie Germany international down to a new deal but it is understood Wenger is already working hard on persuading Meyer to join the north London club.
