England Under-19s left back Obita, 20, won rave reviews while making 36 appearances for the Championship side this past season and is on the radar of both the Premier League giants.
Liverpool have been tracking him for months, and the Gunners also see him as one for the future.
Reds' boss Brendan Rodgers has already gone on record as saying that improving the team's defensive options is key to maintaining a title challenge next season.
In the absence of injured Spanish left-back Jose Enrique, on-loan Aly Cissokho and even England right-back Glen Johnson were used in one of the team's problem positions.
Arsenal have Kieran Gibbs and Nacho Monreal as left-backs, but are impressed by Obita's potential.
