According to Gazzetta dello Sport journalist Nicolo Schira, Arsenal are believed to be very interested in Ever Banega and Emery will talk with Sevilla over the next few days regarding a deal.
The 29-year-old, who is currently on international duty with Argentina, knows the new Arsenal boss very well having worked with him at both Valencia and Sevilla.
Emery is also a big fan of the player and he praised him when he departed the Andalucian club for Inter Milan in 2016.
He said: "I have a great relationship with him. It’s one of love and hate.
"I love him, because he's a boy who loves football, who endears himself to you and who gives you all of his heart and his ability - and he has a lot."
Banega has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League in the past, notably Everton, yet a move to England has never come to fruition.
