Spanish newspaper AS Diario reported that the Gunners are looking to make a £15million move for the Russian winger who has rarely featured at the Santiago Bernabeau.
Liverpool are reportedly also interested in Cheryshev, but these latest reports suggest that Arsenal have taken the lead in the chase for his signature.
