The player in question is Bayern Munich’s Kingsley Coman, who hasn’t been a regular starter under Vincent Kompany this season.
The report claims Arsenal could make a move for Coman if the Bundesliga giants are willing to sanction a loan move for the Frenchman.
Coman has started just six Bundesliga games and two Champions League matches for Bayern this season.
Dean Jones’ report says Arsenal face ‘significant challenge’ in trying to find good value in the market and a loan deal could be a way of securing cover for Saka on a budget.
However, it remains to be seen how much of Coman’s reported £270,000-a-week salary would be covered be Arsenal if given the go-ahead.
Arsenal were linked with Coman last summer before wrapping up a loan move for Chelsea and England ace Raheem Sterling.

Coman came through the ranks at Paris Saint-Germain before joining Juventus, but he didn’t get much game time for either club.
His big break came when he joined Bayern in 2015, initially on loan before signing permanently in 2017.
Coman won a multitude of trophies with Bayern, including a Champions League and eight Bundesliga titles.
Former Bayern manager Julian Nagelsmann once labelled Coman as one of the best players in Europe.
