TOP STORY: Arsenal, Juve in race to get Zirkzee
Arsenal are leading the race to sign Bologna striker Joshua Zirkzee, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.
The Gunners as well as Juventus are believed to have “already made moves” for the 23-year-old, who has a release clause in his contract that allows him to be signed for a fee of €40 million.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is reportedly prioritising reinforcements in his forward line when the transfer market opens and, with RB Leipzig said to be resisting offers for star striker Benjamin Sesko, the latest indicates that the Gunners’ attention is now turning to Zirkzee.
AC Milan are also one of the sides that have kept close tabs on his situation, but the Rossoneri now look to have fallen behind Arsenal and Juve.
Zirkzee has been tracked by multiple clubs in Europe this season following a run of impressive performances in Serie A for the Rossoblú, in which he contributed to 15 goals in 34 league matches.
