Antonio Valencia could join fellow Premier League rivals Arsenal from Manchester United, when his contract expires in the summer, according to his father and agent.
Valencia is out on contract at United in the summer and his father, Luis Valencia, has confirmed the 33-year-old will definitely leave at the end of the season.
Valencia's agent has claimed that Premier League sides Arsenal and West Ham United are interested in the United skipper. Italian side Inter Milan are as well, along with an unnamed Chinese Super League club.
Luis Valencia told El Universo:
"He definitely will not continue in Manchester.
"He wants a change in the air and the club is not going to renew him either. Like everything in life, everything comes to an end.
"Arsenal, West Ham, Inter Milan and one club from China are options, but in football, everything is changing.
"He wants to choose the best option, but above all he wants to sign a contract for two years.
"Not for the money, but for peace and hopefully, he told me, be hired by a team that fights for important things."
Arsenal do have a couple of right-back options currently - but first-choice Hector Bellerin suffered a knee injury recently that will keep him out for the remainder of the season.
Unai Emery also signed 35-year-old Stephan Lichtsteiner on a free transfer in the summer - but his deal, like Valencia's, expires in the summer.
