Arsenal face crunch time over their interest for Palermo striker Paulo Dybala.
The London Evening Standard says Arsenal are under pressure to formalise their interest in Dybala or risk losing him to Borussia Dortmund.
The Gunners have scouted the 21-year-old, who scored seven goals in 15 Serie A games this season, but as Standard Sport reported earlier this month, manager Arsene Wenger is as yet undecided whether to move for Dybala.
Arsenal have more pressing concerns in next month's transfer window with Wenger admitting they may be forced to buy a defender if Laurent Koscielny's fitness continues to be uncertain but Dortmund could force their hand on Dybala.
Reports in Germany suggest Dortmund's representatives have held a meeting with Palermo over a possible transfer, although negotiations are at a formative stage.
