Arsenal are in the running to sign veteran Juventus right-back Stephan Lichtsteiner on a free transfer.
The Switzerland international is out of contract next month and is set to leave the Serie A champions.
And the Gunners have expressed a concrete interest in taking the 34-year-old on a Bosman transfer, though a number of other European clubs are also chasing Lichtsteiner.
Talks are underway and the Gunners are hopeful of concluding a deal.
New manager Unai Emery has a restricted transfer budget this summer, so the move for Lichtsteiner makes financial sense.
The defender would provide competition to first-choice right-back Hector Bellerin.
