Arsenal to make surprise swoop for Oscar Gloukh?

Arsenal could make a surprise move for Red Bull Salzburg attacker Oscar Gloukh during the summer transfer window.

The Gunners have been closely monitoring his progress over the campaign and they plan to send scouts to watch him this weekend.

The 19-year-old has the ability to play anywhere in attack, but he has predominantly operated from the number 10 role this term.

The Israel international has impressed with six goals and seven assists and it is left to be seen whether Arsenal formalist their interest.

Martin Odegaard is currently an undisputed starter from the attacking midfield role, but there is no solid competition behind him.

Emile Smith Rowe has barely played under manager Mikel Arteta and the same has been the case with Fabio Vieira in recent years.

If Arsenal were to pursue a deal for Gloukh, it could lead to the departure of either or both players during the next transfer window.

Smith Rowe has been linked with permanent moves to Newcastle United and Aston Villa. Monaco hold an interest in Vieira.
