The agent of Ever Banega was in London last night for talks with Arsenal.
The Daily Star says Sevilla's star midfielder has been lined up as a target by former manager Unai Emery. And his agent, Marcelo Simonian, was meeting with Gunners officials.
New Gunners boss Emery has identified the 29-year-old as a player who can strengthen his side in the middle.
Arsenal have already added right-back Stephan Lichsteiner and goalkeeper Bernd Leno to their squad.
With Jack Wilshere's departure announced, Banega can help fill the void if he signs.
