In addition to targeting a striker and a midfielder this summer, Arsenal are also looking to strengthen at right-back as they attempt to provide healthy competition for Takehiro Tomiyasu.
The Gunners are looking at the South American market for potential new signings and are monitoring Peruvian right-back Jhilmar Lora among others in the region, football.london understands.
21-year-old Lora has been described by Peruvian football manager Roberto Mosquera as "an excellent and interesting player", after his time with the Peru national team.
