Manor Solomon remains keen on moving to the Premier League this summer, football.london understands, with Ukrainian giants Shakhtar Dontesk setting a price tag of £21million for the highly-rated winger.
Reports in Solomon's native Israel over the past few days had suggested that the winger has already begun looking at houses in England as he prepares for a move to the Premier League, but when asked by football.london a source close to the player was quick to deny such a claim.
football.london reported in January that Solomon's family would be "delighted" if the 21-year-old joined the Gunners, but admitted "there is still a long way to go" before a move happens.
football.london also understands that Pini Zahavi is involved in talks between club and player. The Israeli 'super agent' is in touch with Arsenal technical director Edu.
Zahavi offered the Shakhtar Donetsk winger to the Gunners' former head of football Raul Sanllehi in May 2020 before the Spaniard left the club last summer.
Sanllehi's departure initially scuppered the deal but Solomon's impressive performances in the Champions League and for the Israeli national team this season have put him back on Arsenal's radar.
The player is now understood to be using the services of Zahavi to put him contact with a host of Premier League clubs with a view to a move in the summer.
"There are talks with teams from England," Solomon told Israeli news outlet Sport5 in February.
"There are things that can happen in the summer. My dream is to play in England and it also seems to me the most realistic option for me. And teams in England can pay."
The 21-year-old winger has impressed with nine goals in 23 league appearances for Shakhtar Donetsk, while he also scored a wonder strike against Real Madrid in the Champions League.
