Arsenal have tabled a €100m bid for Barcelona attacker Ousmane Dembele.
El Confidencial's Kike Marin insists an "official" offer has been lodged by the Gunners today for the France international.
Dembele is rated highly by Arsenal's front office and has a good relationship with sports chief Sven Mislintat.
For their part, Barca are reluctant to sell Dembele - who must demand a transfer this afternoon to force through the move.
Marin also is insisting Arsenal are continue talks with Besiktas for Domagoj Vida.
