Arsenal are reportedly planning to launch a bid for Anderlecht teenager Youri Tielemans in the January transfer window.
The Gunners were quiet in the summer market having made goalkeeper Petr Cech their only signing.
Now, according to Calciomercato, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is keen to recruit 18-year-old Tielemans, who has been slapped with a £14m price tag.
The midfielder, who has also been linked to Chelsea and Atletico Madrid, scored six goals last season and just last month signed a new five-year deal at the Belgian club.
