The 19-year-old has been with the Catalan outfit since 2001, but is yet to represent the first team, spending his Camp Nou career to date with Barcelona B.
According to The Metro, Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is a big admirer of the Spanish youth international and will make a move when the winter transfer window opens.
Samper signed a four-year contract with Barcelona just last year.
