The 18-year-old has been on trial with The Gunners in a bid to earn a switch to The Emirates Stadium.
After being impressed by Ito, Wenger is working frantically to secure the Japan Under-21 international a work permit and visa before the deadline passes.
"I like him, I want to sign him and we are applying for a working visa for him on the basis of exceptional talent," Wenger said.
"Last season we had an exceptional talent visa for a Cameroon international, Alex Song, and this player looks another exciting prospect."
