Arsenal are ready to bid for Fiorentina midfielder Riccardo Montolivo.
Fiorentina will seek to cash in on Montolivo in January and he has been watched extensively this season by Arsenal scouts.
With less than a year to run on his current deal, Fiorentina will seek £8 million for his sale.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger will hope to do business for half that figure.
