Arsenal are reportedly hopeful of completing a £15 deal for France youth international Adrien Rabiot this month.
The Premier League leaders, who defeated Sunderland 3-1 in the FA Cup on Saturday, have been long-term admirers of the highly-rated Paris Saint-Germain midfielder.
The 20-year-old, who is a France Under-21 international, has scored one goal in 19 appearances for the defending Ligue 1 champions this season.
Rabiot, who is also a football agent, was thought to be in London on Saturday to discuss his potential January switch to the Gunners after six years with PSG.
