Arsenal are in the front row to sign Bologna striker Joshua Zirkzee when the transfer window reopens this summer.
The Dutchman has been a key player for the Serie A outfit this term with 12 goals and seven assists in all competitions.
He has been tipped to pursue a bigger club this summer and it is claimed that the Gunners are among the front-runners.
Arsenal are in a three-horse race with Juventus and AC Milan, but the Gunners are better equipped in the financial aspect.
Bologna are currently eyeing €50-60 million plus bonuses for their prized asset, who prefers to stay in the Italian top tier.
The Gunners are aiming to convince him with the playing style of Mikel Arteta as well as the lure of the Premier League.
Manchester United have also been linked with him in the past, but they are no longer in the running due to the price tag.
The Red Devils prefer to sign a back-up striker for a cut-price fee, considering Rasmus Hojlund is their undisputed starter.
