Arsene Wenger wants to bring Bayern Munich's Luiz Gustavo to the Emirates.
Luiz Gustavo is the latest player on Arsenal's radar as they consider making a move for the Champions League winner, who the Daily Mirror report as being available for as little as £15 million.
Bayern Munich have recently signed Thiago Alcantra who plays in a similar position, and it is understood he will be Pep Guardiola's first choice for the forthcoming season.
The news alerted Arsenal that Gustavo could be interested in a move elsewhere in search of a better chance of first team football.
With the World Cup being hosted in Gustavo's home country of Brazil next summer, the 25-year-old has admitted that it is imperative for him to being playing first team football for the 2013/14 campaign, as he looks to cement his position in the Brazil team.
It is believed that Bayern Munich will want a fee of around £15 million for Gustavo, who has two years left on his contract. But the Gunners face competition from German side Wolfsburg, who are also eager to strike up a deal that would allow Gustavo to remain in Germany.
Gustavo is a robust defensive midfielder, a position that Arsenal are in need of strengthening if they are to build a more effective defensive unit.
A strong player in this department is something Arsenal fans have been calling for and Gustavo represents the type of player Arsenal have missed in recent years
