Arsenal are interested in signing Vitoria midfielder Ibrahima Bamba during the January transfer window, as per O Jogo.
The Gunners are aiming to bolster the squad next month and a new defensive midfielder could be one of the main priorities.
Thomas Partey has failed to stay fit over an entire campaign and the Gunners may want a solid replacement this winter.
There are many marquee players available including Adrien Rabiot, but the club are apparently eyeing a move for Bamba.
The 20-year-old has been a good impression in a short time at Vitoria and he is being scouted by the likes of PSG and Atalanta.
The Gunners have also entered the pursuit of the young Italian, who has averaged nearly three tackles per game this season.
Vitoria are open to selling their prized asset in the New Year, but they are unlikely to let him go cheaply amid the interest.
He has a release clause worth €30m in his contract.
