Unai Emery is reportedly targeting Barcelona star Ousmane Dembele as his first Arsenal signing.
The Daily Star has claimed that the Spaniard has identified the talented striker as one to strengthen his offensive department ahead of next season.
The youngster joined the Spanish giants in a deal worth £135.5million as a replacement for Neymar who joined Paris Saint-Germain.
The Gunners don't have the financial power to make an offer in that region but are ready to sign the player on loan with the option to buy at a later date.
This is the first market transfer window for Emery who replaced Arsene Wenger earlier this month.
Recent reports have claimed that Arsenal have only £50million to spend this summer so the Spaniard has to be careful unless he sells one of his key players during the summer transfer window.
