Arsenal are targeting Manchester City captain Ilkay Gundogan as he attempts to reach a decision over his future.
The German is out of contract this summer and could be set to leave the Etihad Stadium on a free transfer. Spanish giants Barcelona have been linked with a swoop for his services should fresh terms not be agreed upon.
The Gunners are eyeing a revamp of their midfield in the upcoming window with Swiss international Granit Xhaka expected to be among those who could leave the club before long. Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen want to take him back to Germany.
