Spanish newspaper Diario Sport are linking Arsenal with a move for Barcelona youngster Sergi Samper.
The 20-year-old midfielder is yet to play a La Liga game this season but has featured in five cup ties for the reigning European champions.
According to the report, Arsenal are looking to pay €6million for the Spaniard, although his buy-out clause is €12million, which Barca could insist is the price that must be met for them to allow him to leave.
Since they lost Francis Coquelin to injury, Arsenal have been linked to a number of midfielders and with the likes of Mikel Arteta, Tomáš Rosický and Mathieu Flamini all likely to depart in the summer, it makes sense for Arsene Wenger to be looking at bringing in a few fresh faces.
Samper is a regular for the Barcelona B side, but with so much talent in the full Barca side, opportunities for him to play regular first-team football seem limited at the Catalonian giants, so he could be open to a move.
