Arsenal face competition from Sevilla for Partizan Belgrade midfielder Andrija Zivkovic.
The Gunners' interest in the U20 World Cup winner has been confirmed ahead of the January market.
However, former Sevilla defender Ivica Dragutinovic can see him moving to Spain.
He told Don Balon: "Out of contract in June, and in January he could already sign with any club. He is young and should further demonstrate his talent. If the question is whether what I see and to play at Sevilla, it would seem difficult.
"He should enjoy an adaption period, have some minutes ... I still cannot say he's a future craque of Serbia, although he has great potential. With this kind of talent you need patience."
