Chelsea have emerged as favourites to sign midfielder James Rodriguez from Real Madrid this summer.
Antonio Conte helped the Blues win the Premier League in his debut season.
The Colombian global started just 13 La Liga games last season and was left out of Zinedine Zidane's squad entirely for Madrid's Champions League final win over Juventus.
Morata on the other hand looks set to join former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho at Manchester United.
James’s chances created in La Liga
The Colombia global is likely to leave the Santiago Bernabeu before the transfer window closes as he's not considered a major part of Zinedine Zidane's plans, but the La Liga and Champions League winners are demanding £70 million for the playmaker.
Wenger is looking to rejuvenate his Arsenal squad this summer after missing out on the top four last season and signing Rodriguez would certainly be a statement of intent by the north Londoners.
Players such as Alvaro Morata and Cristiano Ronaldo have also hinted that the playmaker is on his way out the club, with the latter recently admitting he understands why Rodriguez could be seeking a move away. It is thought that £70m would be sufficient to bring the 25-year-old to Stamford Bridge. The France worldwide is a target for a host of European clubs, including the Spanish capital club.
