Arsenal are reportedly interested in signing Catania full-back Gino Peruzzi this summer.
The 22-year-old, who joined Catania from Velez Sarsfield in 2013, is widely regarded as one of the best young full-backs in world football.
A number of European clubs have been linked with a move for the Argentine international in recent weeks.
However, according to The Mirror, Arsenal will open negotiations with the Italian club this week.
Peruzzi has made four appearances for his country.
