Roméo Lavia prefers a move to Arsenal over Liverpool or Chelsea this summer, according to FootbalTransfers.
The Gunners are currently delaying a deal for the Southampton midfielder whilst they work on two other deals first.
They are trying to wrap up a deal for Declan Rice and also move on Thomas Partey.
Lavia has been attracted to Arsenal due to Champions League football, Mikel Arteta and the club’s current upward trajectory.
However, agreeing a deal with the Saints could be tricky, with the relegated side demanding £50 million.
