Mikel Arteta’s team are hoping to once again battle for the Premier League title this term as well as continue their progression in the Champions League.
He has been linked with a number of potential targets so far ahead of the January window opening.
And a striker, with Brentford’s Ivan Toney believed to be top, among his priorities.
However, now a fresh report from Diario AS has claimed Valencia’s teen starlet Yarek Gasiorowski is wanted as well.
Arsenal have tried and failed to land the 18-year-old centre-back in the past due to Brexit regulations regarding foreigners.
Premier League clubs are unable to sign players under 18 but they are said to have remained in contact with the Spaniard.
And this update claims that they are preparing to try again as Arteta continues to try and secure reinforcements.
Gasiorowski emerged through the youth ranks with Valencia and is now considered to be one of the best young centre-backs in Europe.
He moved up into their first-team squad last summer and he has made a number of substitute appearances for the LaLiga side over recent weeks.

But he hit the headlines this week while on international duty for his country’s U19 team.
He scored a hat-trick in Spain’s opening Euro qualification clash as they trounced Moldova 5-0.
Gasiorowski is under contract at Valencia until 2025 and that package also has the option to be extended until 2027.
It also contains a release of £17.5m, which will rise once he hits certain appearance milestones.
