Arsenal are eyeing a move for Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata.
The Mirror says Arsenal, Juventus, Paris Saint Germain and Barcelona are all watching developments closely with Mata out of contract at the end of the season.
Mata, who turns 31 in April, can talk to foreign clubs and sign a pre-contract as United have allowed his contract to run down despite having discussions about a new deal.
Mata played under Arsenal boss Unai Emery when the pair were together at Valencia and Arsenal's current lack of finances means a free transfer could appeal.
It comes as United appear to be having a purge on older players with the club instigating a new approach not to make new signings of players who are over 28.
