Arsenal are reportedly ready to meet Palermo's asking price for Paulo Dybala.
The 21-year-old, who is widely regarded as one of the best young talents in world football, has scored six goals in 13 league starts for his club this season.
It is understood that Palermo have put an asking price of £32m on the head of the Argentine, but according to The Express, that has not discouraged the Gunners in their pursuit.
Manchester United are also said to be interested in the talented forward, who is not expected to be sold until at least next summer.
Dybala joined Palermo from Instituto in 2012.
