Arsenal are being linked with AS Roma midfielder Adem Ljajic.
Calciomercato.com says Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is maintaining an interest in Ljajic.
The 22-year-old saw a move to Manchester United collapse back in 2010 over work permit issues but the player would relish a second crack at the Premier League.
Arsenal could use Lukas Podolski as a makeweight in any deal despite Wenger's insistence the German won't be sold in this window.
