Arsenal are keen on signing Manchester City star Michael Johnson according to reports over the weekend.
19 year old Johnson has impressed this season under Sven Goran Eriksson and is attracting the attentions of a number of the Premiership's top clubs.
The Sunday People claims that Arsenal are set to keep tabs on Johnson with a view to launching a £5 million bid in January but they could also face competition from Liverpool who are reportedly also interested.
Liverpool made a £2 million for Johnson without success last summer.
