Arthur Melo is reportedly keen to move to the Emirates in a welcome boost for Arsenal as they look to strike a deal for the Juventus midfielder.
The Gunners opened talks over a loan for Arthur, 25, last week but negotiations between the two clubs have been more drawn-out than expected.
Juve are demanding Arsenal include an obligation to buy the Brazil international as part of any agreement, with manager Massimiliano Allegri ready to part ways with the player.
