Arsenal reportedly want to sign Real Madrid's Dani Ceballos and Brighton & Hove Albion's Mathew Ryan on permanent deals during this summer's transfer window.
Ceballos returned to the Emirates Stadium on loan last summer, and the 24-year-old has again been a regular during the 2020-21 campaign, making 25 appearances in all competitions.
A recent report claimed that Madrid are open to selling the Spaniard in the upcoming market, although Zinedine Zidane's side would be looking for a fee in the region of £22m.
According to The Sun, the Gunners want to sign the midfielder on a permanent deal, while they are also keen to secure a transfer for goalkeeper Ryan, who arrived on loan from Brighton in January.
The 28-year-old made his debut for Mikel Arteta's side in the 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa at the start of February before dropping down to the bench for the clash with Leeds United last weekend.
Ryan's existing deal with the Seagulls is due to expire in June 2022.
Real Madrid 'to keep Martin Odegaard in bid to lure Erling Braut Haaland'

Real Madrid are reportedly keen to keep hold of Martin Odegaard as they are confident that the midfielder could play a role in convincing Erling Braut Haaland to join the club.
Odegaard is currently on loan at Arsenal, and there have been suggestions that the Gunners are keen to sign the Norway international on a long-term basis during this summer's transfer window.
However, according to Mundo Deportivo, the 22-year-old's close relationship with his fellow Norway international Haaland means that he is unlikely to be allowed to leave the Bernabeu.
Haaland has again been in excellent scoring form for Borussia Dortmund during the 2020-21 campaign, finding the back of the net on 25 occasions in 24 appearances in all competitions.
The 20-year-old, who will have a £68m release clause in his contract next summer, is thought to be wanted by the likes of Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United.
Madrid continue to be credited with an interest in the striker, though, and Haaland recently said that it is "nice" to be linked with the Spanish champions.
