Arsenal have identified Bournemouth's Callum Wilson as a surprise target for the summer.

The 23-year-old played a key role in the Cherries promotion to the top tier having notched up 23 goals in the Championship.

However, ESPN cites that the Gunners chief scout Steve Rowley has had had an eye on the striker plenty of times, and manager Arsene Wenger sees him as the ideal player to provide competition to Oliver Giroud for the centre-forward role.

Wilson joined the Premier League newcomers from Coventry City in 2014.
