Lille defender Gabriel Magalhães is reportedly favouring a move to Arsenal.
The left-sided centre-back is much wanted in Europe, with Manchester United also linked with his signature.
And French outlet La Voix du Nord has claimed that Gabriel is favouring a move to the Gunners.
He has agreed to join the club if Arsenal can agree on a fee with Lille.
The 22-year-old could be set to join Nicholas Pepe, who left Lille for Arsenal last summer.

Gabriel may feel Arsenal can offer him an easier path to first-team football, while still getting to compete in the Premier League and Europa League.
However, United are still in the race and could still make a move for the Brazilian.
