Arsenal scouts will watch Red Bull Salzburg youngster Dominik Szoboszlai when the Austrian champions face Liverpool on Wednesday night.
The Gunners are monitoring the 18-year-old Hungary international, having made their interest known to Salzburg during last summer.
Szoboszlai has scored eight goals in 31 games since joining from feeder club FC Liefering - also owned by Red Bull - in 2018.
Arsenal are believed have approached Salzburg chiefs with their wish to be kept informed on rival interest in Szoboszlai, ahead of a potential move at the end of the season.
They have monitored both he and teammate Erling Haaland.
But they are among a clutch of clubs - including the likes of Juventus - who have been watching the twosome, with Jesse Marsch’s side having enjoyed an impressive start to the season.
Yet, while Emirates scouts will check on Szoboszlai at Anfield, they are also aware that Red Bull may have long-term plans of their own for their young stars - notably, moving them to Germany with RB Leipzig.
Salzburg have previously sold the likes of Sadio Mane directly - the Liverpool star having moved straight to Southampton from Austria - but young stars such as Dayot Upamecano, Amadou Haidara and Hannes Wolf have more recently stayed in the Red Bull family.
Salzburg head to Anfield having won all but one game so far this term, while they opened up their Champions League campaign with a 6-2 thrashing of Genk.
