Huntelaar, who has been heavily linked with Liverpool since the summer, is known to have a desire to join the Gunners should a move to England become a reality.
A number of Premier League scouts have been camped in the AufSchalke for the past few weeks as Huntelaar aproaches the end of his contract with Schalke.
Although Schalke would be disappointed to lose Huntelaar they are willing to let him leave for a fee of around €8m in January, rather than let him walk out on a free transfer in the Summer.
Champions League football is the top of Huntelaar's requirement list for any English club, currently Arsenal are favourites to capture the clinical forward who is known to be an admirer of manager Arsene Wenger.
Huntelaar is extremely strong in the air and has a knack of finding the net, whilst at Ajax he scored a magnificent 76 league goals in 92 games.
After losing Robin van Persie to Manchester United, Arsene Wenger is keen to find a forward of a similar calibre.
Sources close to Huntelaar have hinted the Dutchman has a desire to leave the Bundesliga in January. He is aware of Arsenal's interest and is awaiting an official approach by the North London club.
