ARSENAL have reportedly launched a £17million bid for Fenerbahce full-back Ferdi Kadioglu.
Mikel Arteta is eager to strengthen his squad this summer after narrowly missing out on the Premier League title.
The Gunners have already been linked with several players including Benjamin Sesko, Viktor Gyokeres and Bruno Guimaraes.
But according to Turkish outlet Ajan Spor, Kadioglu has emerged as a top target.
The 24-year-old has been on Arteta's radar in recent months.

Arsenal have allegedly launched a bid worth £17m in an attempt to sign him.
However, Fenerbahce want around £30m for the full-back.
Borussia Dortmund are also understood to be interested and have already tabled a £21m offer.
Despite starring primarily as a left-back, Kadioglu can also play as a right-back, midfielder and a winger.
Describing his style of play on social media, one fan wrote: "He plays almost every position except Goalkeeper! He's predominantly right footed though so I could see him as Saka's back up and then used at fullback whenever needed."

The Turkish international made 51 appearances for Fenerbahce this season, scoring three goals and assisting five.
Should he join Arsenal, Kadioglu could become Arteta's first choice left-back.
However, he would have to compete with Jurrien Timber - who returned from an ACL injury last month - Oleksandr Zinchenko and Takehiro Tomiyasu.
The Gunners kick off the 2024-25 Premier League campaign at home against Wolves in August.
