The 25-year-old has been heavily linked with the Gunners on a number of occasions in the past and almost made the move to the Premier League in January.

25-year-old wide-man Carrasco made the surprise move to Chinese Super League outfit Dalian Yifang in February of last year, following a two-and-a-half year stint with La Liga giants Atletico Madrid.

But the player won't come cheap as the Belgian Red Devils attacker has a contract with the Chinese side till 2022 and they would certainly look to command a generous fee if they are to let him go.

And, despite rumoured interest from the likes of Juventus and Arsenal, Carrasco eventually opted to join Chinese club Dalian Yifang. The winger has done fairly well during his spell in China, bagging 14 goals and setting up 11 more in 36 matches till date.

"From a personal and family point of view, I would like to return to Europe and stay closer to my family".

"Negotiations are going well", Carrasco said.

Arsenal have been long-term admirers of the winger, who was an ever-present in the Belgian national team that finished third in last year's FIFA World Cup.

Unai Emery's Arsenala moved for him in January before eventually signing Denis Suarez on loan from Barcelona.

Nonetheless, the winger has attracted interest from some big European clubs, owing to his ever-present worldwide status, and Arsenal seem to have done enough to sign him.

Indeed, according to Italian daily Gazzetta dello Sport, Sampdoria have informed Arsenal that they want a minimum of €55m for the duo.

But with Emery now planning to bolster his squad ahead of next season, the Belgium global has emerged as a prime target.
