Ilkay Gundogan is a transfer target for Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta this summer.
The Premier League champions have not yet agreed to new terms with the Manchester City captain, whose contract expires at the end of current year.
Granit Xhaka, who is anticipated to play his final game for the Gunners this weekend, is being replaced by Arteta, who is searching the market.
Xhaka and Bayer Leverkusen have reached an agreement as he nears a return to Germany.
Arsenal reportedly has a “concrete” interest in Gundogan, with Arteta at the center of their efforts to bring him to the Emirates Stadium, according to The Athletic.
Oleksandr Zinchenko and Gabriel Jesus were purchased from City by Arsenal for a total of £75 million last summer.
