Porto midfielder Danilo Pereira admits he'd welcome a move to Arsenal.
Atletico Madrid's Thomas Partey is the top target for Gunners manager Mikel Arteta but if they are unable to get a deal done, Pereira would represent a strong fall-back option.
And Pereira thinks he would be ideally suited to English football as he praised Arteta and Arsenal.
"I think he [Arteta] is doing a really, really, good job there," Pereira told Stats Perform News.
“He is a really good coach who started as the second coach at [Manchester] City, so he has a little experience and Arsenal play very good football and I think he is doing very well there.
“He is a Spanish coach, he is a bit similar to Portuguese coaches, they also want to play with the ball and improve with the ball, so I think he is a good coach.
“The style I think I can fit there, the way he plays also thinking on the ball, the team always has to be together - I think it is a good way to play.
“Of course I like to be here in Porto to be here in my country, but I want to be in a better league like the Premier League.
“I always dreamed about playing in that league. I played also in Serie A but I think the Premier League is a huge league and one day I want to play there, to improve to be a better player. I think it's the best league in the world."
