Arsenal are reportedly interested in signing Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga on loan.
The Gunners have confirmed the signing of Leandro Trossard from Brighton & Hove Albion, while Jakub Kiwior is closing in on a switch to the Emirates Stadium from Spezia.
The club are said to be working on more additions before the end of the January transfer window, with Mikel Arteta's side currently at the top of the Premier League table and chasing their first title since 2004.
According to the Evening Standard, Camavinga has emerged as a surprise target, with the Gunners exploring the possibility of signing the France international on loan for the rest of the season.
The report claims that the North London outfit are unsure whether Real Madrid would be open to a deal, but the midfielder has struggled to break into the team's starting XI this term.
Camavinga made the move to Bernabeu from Rennes in 2021, and he has represented Los Blancos on 66 occasions in all competitions, contributing two goals and three assists in the process.
The Frenchman won La Liga, the Spanish Super Cup, the Champions League and the UEFA Super Cup during his first season in the Spanish capital.
The midfielder has made a further 26 appearances for Real Madrid this season, including 16 in La Liga, but he has not played the full 90 minutes in a single league game this term.
Camavinga was also substituted at the interval of the Spanish Super Cup semi-final against Valencia and final against Barcelona, which is believed to have led to frustration.
The Frenchman did play the full 90 minutes of the 3-2 success over Villarreal in the Copa del Rey on Thursday night, though, and Ancelotti was full of praise for his performance against the Yellow Submarine.
"He had more energy and showed more character in the second half. He's learning that he has to look after himself, it was a complete performance from him," the Italian told reporters after the match.
COPE have reported, meanwhile, that Real Madrid view Camavinga as 'untouchable', with the club not prepared to discuss his exit under any circumstances.
Arsenal could therefore be forced to look elsewhere in their bid to sign a new midfielder before the end of the month, and Leicester City's Youri Tielemans is still thought to be a target for the Gunners.
