Arsenal will reportedly move for Haras El Hodood defender Milo before the start of the Premier League season.
The 21-year-old currently plays his football in his native Egypt, but he has attracted a host of European interest after impressing in a recent tournament in France.
Lyon and Benfica have both been credited with an interest, but according to Sky Sports News, the Gunners currently lead the race.
Milo will feature for his country at the 2012 London Olympics this summer.
