According to reports in Belgium, Premiership champions Arsenal are set to pounce for young Swiss midfielder Christian Schwegler.

The 20-year-old played in a friendly for The Gunners against the club's feeder side Beveren and clearly impressed manager Arsene Wenger

The plan is for Arsenal to bag the promising talent, then immediately loan him to Beveren in a bid to gain additional experienced before returning to Highbury.

Schwegler, who plays for Swiss side FZ Luzern, is contracted till 2006, although it is unlikely the side could resist a bid from North London.

Wenger has an excellent reputation for signing top foreign talent and bedding them into his star-studded side, with Francesc Fabregas, Jeremie Aliadiere and Gael Clichy all in his current Gunners squad.
