Arsenal are the latest side to have shown an interest in highly-rated Cagliari midfielder Nicolo Barella, according to a report.
The 21-year-old has already been touted as a potential January transfer target for a number of clubs, including the Gunners' top-flight rivals Liverpool.
Barella, who starred for Italy in their 1-0 win over Poland on Sunday evening, has supposedly been watched up close by Arsenal scouts this season.
Gazzetta dello Sport suggests that the twice-capped Italy international is seen as a potential successor to Aaron Ramsey, as Arsenal prepare for the Welshman's expected end-of-season departure.
Serie A trio AC Milan, Roma and Juventus are also among Barella's rumoured suitors, but Juve have baulked at Cagliari's price tag.
