Joshua Zirkzee, an attacker for Bologna, is being considered by Arsenal as a possible replacement for Ivan Toney of Brentford.
Mikel Arteta, the manager of Arsenal, is eager to add a striker to his team this month, as the team has already shortlisted Toney and Victor Osimhen of Napoli.
However, Arsenal’s ability to spend during the current January transfer window will be limited due to Financial Fair Play (FFP) issues.
This implies that the North London club could have to look for less expensive options.
The Telegraph claims that Arteta’s team has been keeping a close eye on Zirkzee’s progress in Serie A and that the player is on Arsenal’s radar.
Bologna would demand a £50 million price for the 22-year-old, who is also connected to Manchester United, Arsenal’s Premier League rival, according to the source.
Zirkzee, who has seven goals in Serie A this year, left Bayern Munich in 2022 to sign a £10 million contract with Bologna.
