ARSENAL are in talks with Roma midfielder Alberto Aquilani about a possible move to north London, according to the players agent.
The 23-year-old has emerged as a top target for Arsene Wenger as he seeks a replacement for Mathieu Flamini, who departed for AC Milan earlier this month.
Aquilani has had a fine season with Roma - who finished runners-up in Serie A - and his agent Vincenzo Morabito insists the Giallorossi need to reward the youngster accordingly.
"Aquilani is speaking to Arsenal," Morabito told Italia Uno.
"We will have to see if Roma will be able to match his demands."
Four-cap Italian star Aquilani - who turned down a move to Chelsea as a 16-year-old - is also a target for Real Madrid after impressing while playing against the Spanish giants in the Champions League this season.
