Arsenal are chasing Malaga's £30 million-rated midfielder Isco. The Daily Star says Isco is seen as one of the hottest young players in the world.
He made his full international debut for world and European champions Spain last month, playing the last 30 minutes of a 3-1 win over Uruguay.
Arsenal are likely to face stiff competition for Isco's signature, but chief scout Steve Rowley has been following his progress for some time.
The Gunners also have an advantage in that they have already done business with Malaga, signing left-back Nacho Monreal in January for £6m, and initial talks have been held about a deal for Isco.
