Hector Moreno is reportedly willing to turn down offers from Tottenham Hotspur in order to join Arsenal this summer.

Arsenal were thought to be considering a January bid for the Espanyol defender, but Metro cites reports in Spain suggesting that the Gunners have rekindled their interest in the centre-back.

Furthermore, the North London outfit are now believed to be favourites for Moreno's signature after the £15m-rated Mexican international apparently set his heart on a move to the Emirates Stadium.

Arsene Wenger's side have been repeatedly linked with a move for Moreno and are said to have had the defender watched by scouts on a number of occasions.

Arsenal are currently second in the Premier League table, nine points behind Chelsea.
