Arsenal have recently been linked with a move for highly-rated Sevilla midfielder Antonio Zarzana.
Spanish outlet Estadio Deportivo claim that the Gunners have ‘set their sights’ on the attacking midfielder, who has previously been linked with Bayern Munich, Liverpool and Real Madrid.
The report also reveals that Arsenal are now ‘threatening’ to make a move for the Spaniard.
The 17-year-old is yet to make his competitive debut for Sevilla’s first team and has been turning out for the club’s reserve side.
Zarzana’s dream is to turn out at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium and he caught the eye last season with an impressive panenka penalty against Real Madrid’s youth side.

The teenager’s natural position is an attacking midfielder, however, he also has the ability to turn out in a more ball-playing central midfield role.
He’s been capped by Spain at Under-18 level and is regarded as a future star, so if the Gunners can act fast, they may well have another exciting youngster on their books.
Mikel Arteta looks set to take over at the Emirates, and Zarzana could well end up being the 37-year-old’s first signing due to the timing of the two potential arrivals.
