Belgium-born El Kaddouri, 21, is said to be attracting attention from a number of top sides, with his agent announcing in June that the player - currently representing Morocco at the London Olympics - had decided against joining Parma after Juventus expressed an interest.

El Kaddouri has said his "advisors are looking at the available options" but it would appear he would relish a switch to North London.

Asked about the Arsenal reports, he said: "I do not know if they are interested in me, but it is flattering. I am settled in Italy to be honest, but Premier League football is appealing to any player."
