And, according to Italian publication Il Messaggero, Iwobi is one of two Gunners on their wishlist.
The other player is flop striker Lucas Perez, who it is claimed has a similar asking price.
Versatile winger Iwobi, 22, has seen his progress stall at Arsenal since breaking into the first team in 2015.
The Nigeria international has 26 Premier League appearances last season, netting three times.
