Arsenal are going for Sevilla midfielder Ever Banega ahead of the winter market.

The Sun says Arsenal's new chiefs want to land Banega for Unai Emery.

The Gunners boss worked with Banega at Sevilla and wants the Argentina international, 30, to add competition in midfield.

It will be one of the first deals Raul Sanllehi will look at in his new role as head of football, following Ivan Gazidis' departure.

Spanish sources say Banega has an £18million buy-out clause to land him before his contract expires at the end of next season.

Emery was interested in Banega in the summer but the former Inter Milan star chose to extend his second spell at Sevilla.
