The Gunners are searching for a new left winger to provide competition for Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli.
They are desperate for goalscorers after struggling in the opposition box at vital times this term.
Rodrygo has scored six goals in 30 LaLiga appearances this term.
Martinelli and Trossard have both found the back of the net eight time in the Premier League this season.
Arsenal are also thought to be searching for a new striker ahead of the new campaign.
Sporting Lisbon's Viktor Gyokeres and Benjamin Sesko of RB Leipzig are amongst the names being considered by the Emirates hierarchy.
