Arsenal chief Edu is determined to win the race to sign Barcelona winger Raphinha.
Sport says Barca and Raphinha are in agreement about a move away this summer. The former Leeds star had originally been reluctant to leave the Nou Camp, but has now come around to the idea.
Barca are willing to sell the Brazil international as they seek to ease their Financial Fair Play concerns.
Chelsea are keen, however Edu is jumping back into the battle for Raphinha's signature, despite being snubbed last summer as the attacker chose Barca.
Arsenal have been pushing for many months, it is reported, with sporting director Edu making 'constant calls' to Raphinha's representatives.
