Arsenal identify their top three striker targets

Arsenal have identified their top three striker targets ahead of the summer transfer window, according to The Independent.

The Gunners are expected to spend big this summer as they look to close the gap on Manchester City for the Premier League title.

A new marksman is one of the top priorities and reports claim that Newcastle United's Alexander Isak is one of the names on their wishlist.

Ajax's Brian Brobbey has been identified as the alternative option while Sporting's Viktor Gyokeres has also been talked about.

The Gunners are planning to do their transfer business early such that most of their signings are available from the start of pre-season.

Mikel Arteta is determined to end the club's 20-year title drought. The Gunners finished just two points behind City last season.

The Spanish tactician believes he can close the slender margin with some marquee signings during the upcoming transfer window.

Aside from a new striker, the north London giants are on the search for a right winger, a defensive midfielder and a left-back.
