Marcus Rashford is one of several wingers being linked with a move to Arsenal this summer.
The Gunners are expected to strengthen in wide areas before the new season begins, especially with questions surrounding the futures of both Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard.
If both players leave, Arsenal will need more than one winger, and that has led to a number of names being linked with a switch to the Emirates Stadium.
Among them is Rashford, and a move could well be possible if Mikel Arteta really wants it this summer.

How Manchester United feel about selling Marcus Rashford to Arsenal
Marcus Rashford’s future has become one of the biggest talking points of the summer transfer window.
The England international has spent most of his senior career at Manchester United and, at one stage, looked destined to become a one-club legend at Old Trafford.
However, things have changed dramatically over the last few years.
Questions over his consistency and long-term role in the side have led to speculation that United could be willing to listen to offers to sell him permanently.
With Barcelona going after Anthony Gordon, Rashford may have to find a new home elsewhere, and there are plenty of rumours.
Arsenal are one of the clubs who have been linked with Rashford as they look to add more quality and depth to their attack.
From United’s perspective, though, selling him to a direct rival is not something they would be keen on.
Manchester Evening News correspondent Steven Railston was asked about the possibility of Rashford joining Arsenal and revealed the club’s stance.
He said: “Regarding Arsenal, United would not want to strengthen a Premier League rival, but an offer would be considered for the right money.”
That suggests a deal is not impossible, but Arsenal would likely have to pay a premium to convince United to do business.

Arsenal should stay away from Marcus Rashford
There is no denying Rashford is a brilliant footballer on his day.
When he is confident and in rhythm, he can win games almost single-handedly and produce moments that very few players are capable of.
The problem is that Arsenal would not be signing the best version of Rashford every week.
His inconsistency has been a concern throughout his career, and any deal would almost certainly involve a significant transfer fee and enormous wages.
That makes the risk far greater than the potential reward, especially for a club that has worked so hard to build the right culture and dressing room environment.
Arsenal have been down this road before with signings such as Willian.
On paper, it looked exciting, but it quickly became clear that the move made little sense. Rashford feels like a gamble the Gunners simply do not need to take.
