Arsenal are reportedly keeping tabs on Red Bull Salzburg midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai with one eye already on the January transfer window.
The summer window for international transfers only ended on Monday, with Arsenal making the biggest signing of deadline day by bringing in Thomas Partey for around £45m.
The Gunners had prioritised a deal for Lyon's Houssem Aouar prior to deadline day, but moved for Thomas once that option fell through.
Arteta is still in the market for more creativity from midfield, though, and transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that Szoboszlai is already on the club's radar for future windows.
The 19-year-old has scored three goals and created three more in six appearances for Salzburg this season, continuing his fine form from last term when he directly contributed to 30 goals in 40 games.
Aouar remains Arsenal's preferred target, but rival interest from Real Madrid and Manchester City has led the Gunners to also consider alternatives such as Szoboszlai.
The Hungary international is also wanted elsewhere around Europe, though, with Napoli, AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain among the other clubs thought to be tracking him.
