The Gunners are currently eyeing a back-up option behind Bukayo Saka on the right wing and Tsygankov is a target.

The Ukrainian was superb for the La Liga outfit last term with eight goals and seven assists from 34 appearances.

The left-footed right winger has also impressed with his dribbling and recoveries. He would be a solid signing.

The winger currently has a release clause worth £26m in his contract and Girona may not accept anything less.

Girona are the sister club of Manchester City and they are unlikely to help the Gunners in the pursuit of their player.

The arrival of Tsygankov could pave the way for the departure of Reiss Nelson , who has barely impressed.

The Gunners graduate was largely a bench warmer last term and he could be offloaded for a reasonable price.

Brighton & Hove Albion and Wolverhampton Wanderers are said to be prepared to make offers for him.
