Everton midfielder Amadou Onana is keen to hear from Arsenal this month.
The young Belgian is a favourite of Arsenal chief Edu, who has followed him long-term.
And transfer expert Ben Jacobs is reporting Onana is now more open to making a move to Arsenal during this winter market.
A bid of 50m would convince Everton to part with the midfielder.
The Blues are under fresh pressure after suffering a 10 point deduction this season having received a second charge for breaching the Premier League's financial laws on Monday.
