VitoriaGuimaraes midfielder Ibrahima Bamba is set to delay a move away until the summer.
Arsenal will delay any move for Bamba until the end of the current season.
Sport Italia says the Gunners are interested in bringing the midfielder to the club to bolster their squad.
However, they are in no hurry to firm up their interested with a bid - as they continue to chase Brighton star Moises Caicedo.
Napoli and Atalanta are also said to be targeting the VitoriaGuimaraes star.
