Arsenal chief Edu has made contact with agent Deco for Barcelona winger Raphinha.
The London Evening Standard says the Gunners have begun looking at alternative options after seeing Mykhaylo Mudryk move to Chelsea on Saturday.
Raphinha, who both Chelsea and Arsenal tried to sign in the summer, could be made available by Barcelona after an indifferent spell following his £55m move from Leeds.
Both London clubs were keen to sign the Brazil international in the summer and Arsenal have continued to monitor his situation through Edu’s excellent relationship with Deco.
Mikel Arteta is keen to add a forward who can help guide Arsenal to win the Premier League title as they sit five points ahead of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table, with a game in hand.
The North Londoners are particularly keen to boost their options after losing Gabriel Jesus to a knee injury at the beginning of December.
