Arthur Vermeeren, a midfielder for Royal Antwerp who has been called the "next Andres Iniesta," is a target for Arsenal.
The 18-year-old has been linked to moves to La Liga winners Barcelona and Premier League powerhouses Manchester United and Arsenal.
"According to Sport, the North Londoners are currently heading the race for the Belgium international's signature," the Sun reports.
"And it is thought Arsenal could land Vermeeren for a bargain £17 million in the January transfer window.
"Manager Mikel Arteta is facing the prospect of losing Jorginho in the New Year with Barcelona expressing interest.
"Barca are also keeping tabs on Vermeeren in their bid to find someone to continue club legend Iniesta's work in the middle of the park at the Nou Camp.
"However, the Blaugrana have been marred by financial trouble and could instead turn to Corinthians ace Gabriel Moscardo."
