Mikel Arteta has made Athletic Bilbao's Unai Nunez his top transfer target as he looks to overhaul Arsenal's defence for next season, according to Daily Mail.
The 23-year-old has a release clause of £26.45million and, according to La Razon via Deia, the Gunners are prepared to meet it.
However, it's a price several clubs are thought to be willing to match with the release clause seen as relatively low for the current transfer market.
Nunez has made 18 appearances in all competitions for Bilbao but it took him until the second half of the season to nail down a regular starting place.
But the centre-back is seen as a developing talent who is physically strong and good in the air.
He made his international debut for Spain last September, replacing Sergio Ramos in a Euro qualifying fixture against the Faroe Islands.
