Arsenal continue to work on a number of transfer plans as Mikel Arteta looks to strengthen his squad ahead of their Premier League title defence.
The Gunners are expected to remain one of the busiest teams in the market in the coming weeks.
Another player who continues to stand out in Arsenal's plans is Aston Villa star Morgan Rogers.
Rogers, who has scored 14 goals and provided 12 assists, can operate up front and in the middle of the attacking midfield, giving Arteta another versatile option in the final third.
Villa are understood to be reluctant to part with one of their star players. However, Arsenal have continued to monitor the situation as they look to see if a deal can happen later in the window.

The Gunners are also looking to the future as they continue to invest in young talent.
Leicester City youngster Jeremy Monga is one of the brightest prospects on Arsenal's radar.
The 16-year-old enjoyed a fine campaign after becoming one of the youngest players to feature in the Premier League before establishing himself in the Leicester first team.

Mikel Arteta's side are actively looking to strengthen.
Arsenal have already seen an opening bid rejected as talks continue between the two clubs.
Leicester are believed to value the winner more than Arsenal's initial offer of £5m, and talks are ongoing as Arsenal attempt to secure one of England's most exciting talents.
While Arsenal continue to explore attacking additions, midfield is also a priority this summer.
The arrival of Martin Zubimendi last summer strengthened Arteta's options, but the club are still considering further reinforcements in that area.
A number of midfielders are being discussed internally as Arsenal weigh up different options in the market.
That process has now led the club to two of Newcastle's biggest stars.
Arsenal have held talks over the signing of Bruno Guimaraes and Sandro Tonali
According to BBC Sport's Sami Mokbel, Arsenal have held talks to test both Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes.
His report says initial talks have taken place with their agents as Arsenal debate a number of midfield options before deciding which contract to pursue.
Sporting director Andrea Berta is known for taking a particular approach to the market, where he will contact and evaluate the possibility of signing important targets before deciding which one to prioritize.
That was evident last summer when Arsenal weighed Viktor Gyokeres and Benjamin Sesko at the same time, before finally landing in Sweden.
How much will Tonali and Guimaraes cost this summer
Tonali, who is worth an estimated £100 million and currently earns £150,000 a week at Newcastle, is also a major target for Tottenham.
The full cost of completing the deal, including transfer fees, wages and agent fees, will need to be carefully considered by the Gunners.
Meanwhile, Guimaraes, who earns around £120,000 a week under his current contract, could cost around £86 million according to other reports, despite only having two years left on his contract.
The midfielder has enjoyed another productive season and remains one of the best midfielders in the Premier League.
Tonali and Bruno's combined wages come to around £270,000-a-week, while their combined transfer fees are approaching £200m, making both the most expensive deals to make.
Ayyoub Bouaddi, who stood out in Ligue 1 and stood out in the World Cup with Morocco, is one of the midfielders that Berta is looking at.
BBC Sport add that while Arsenal are holding preliminary talks over the Brazilian's situation, they are yet to make a formal move to Newcastle.
