Arsenal are strong admirers of Leicester City midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, who is in the running to win Championship Player of the Season, reports The Athletic.
Brighton are already in talks with Leicester for Dewsbury-Hall, 25, but The Athletic understands there is a gap between their offer and what the Foxes are demanding.
Leicester want at least £30 million for the talented midfielder, who has smashed nine goals and assisted nine more already this season.
If Brighton refuse to meet their valuation, Arsenal could make a move. The Athletic also adds that Edu believes Dewsbury-Hall is just what the Gunners need.
However, Arsenal have their hands tied from signing him this month, thanks to Financial Fair Play restrictions.
Knowing what Dewsbury-Hall is capable of, Leicester are not likely to accept anything below £30 million; that's still a pretty modest fee.
If the Englishman does end up joining Arsenal, here's how he'd fit Mikel Arteta's XI.
Alongside Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard, Dewsbury-Hall could slot in as the perfect creative addition. He's adept at scoring and assisting, meaning he'd work in tandem with someone like Odegaard.
Considering we play with a striker like Gabriel Jesus, who is more known for his work rate off the ball, Dewsbury-Hall could cook up some magic.
