Reports in Italy are claiming that Arsenal are interested in bringing in Parma midfielder Danilo Pereira to the Emirates.
The 19-year-old, who has been likened to former Gunner legend Patrick Vieira, starred at the recent under-20 world cup for Portugal and was nominated for the Golden Ball award.
But the Gunners may face competition in the race for his signature from rival Premier League side Liverpool.
