Arsenal are weighing up a move for Real Madrid defender Victor Valdepenas.
The 19-year-old, who made his senior debut for the LaLiga giants this season, has been heavily scouted by the Gunners in recent months according to BBC Sport.
While internal discussions have occurred at the Emirates, no formal offer has been made. Arsenal must now decide whether to formalise their interest during the current window or wait until the summer.
Valdepenas, a left-footed center-back capable of playing as a full-back, reportedly has a €50m (£43m) release clause.
