Arsenal are reportedly preparing to rival Barcelona for the signature of Sevilla attacker Bryan Gil.
The 20-year-old is currently on loan with Eibar and has made 18 appearances in all competitions during the 2020-21 campaign, contributing three goals and three assists in the process.
Earlier this month, Barca scout Mani revealed that the Catalan giants were interested in the Spain Under-21s international, branding him "the best footballer in Spain".
According to Mundo Deportivo, the Gunners are also admirers of the attacker and could battle Ronald Koeman's side for his signature during this summer's transfer window.
Gil is believed to have a €35m (£30.3m) release clause in his existing deal at Estadio Ramon, but Sevilla are said to be working on an extension in the hope of raising the buy-out fee to €150m (£130m).
The youngster has scored twice in 21 appearances for Sevilla, while he has also previously spent time on loan with Leganes in Spain's top flight.
