Arsenal’s approach
Sources in England report Arsenal opened exploratory talks. The club wants to reinforce its midfield with a young, dynamic player.
Arteta values Gavi’s intensity and pressing. He believes the midfielder can operate at several positions and suit the Premier League.
Barcelona’s response
