Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta reportedly identifies Sevilla midfielder Joan Jordan as a potential signing ahead of the January transfer window.

Arsenal are reportedly contemplating a move for Sevilla midfielder Joan Jordan.

The 26-year-old is a regular for the La Liga giants and has already turned out 19 times for Sevilla in all competitions this term, registering one goal and three assists along the way.

The Gunners' pursuit of a creative midfielder is well-documented, and while Jordan is not an out-and-out number 10, Mikel Arteta has supposedly taken a liking to him.

According to The Sun, Jordan would be open to a move to the Premier League, and Arsenal have been monitoring the midfielder's progress for a number of years.

The report adds that Jordan's current deal at Sevilla includes a £55m release clause, but Julen Lopetegui's side may consider a sale if they receive a bid of £32m.

Jordan is contracted to Sevilla until the end of the 2022-23 campaign, where he has made 66 appearances and won one Europa League crown since arriving from Eibar last year.
