Per Mundo Deportivo, he is seen as the club’s primary midfield target to upgrade their squad.
The Gunners are pushing to convince him to join, as there is interest from other teams.
The Sociedad midfielder is thought to be “seduced” by the idea of going to Arsenal.
He is likely to cost the Gunners around €25 million, which is a lot less than previous target Martin Zubimendi.
