Arsenal are casting a wide net as manager Mikel Arteta seeks a new centre-forward this summer.

The London Evening Standard says Arsenal are seeking “a more physical" forward with five players being watched to add an “extra dimension" to their attack.

Juventus are “preparing for life" without 6ft 3in star Dusan Vlahovic, who the Gunners have tracked long-term.

Vlahovic, 23, joined Juventus from Fiorentina back in January 2022 after snubbing the chance to move to the Premier League with Arsenal.

England pair Dominic Calvert-Lewin, of Everton, 26, and Roma's Tammy Abraham, 25, also both “fit the mould" of what he is looking for.

They are also in the transfer battle for Napoli's Nigerian star Victor Osimhen and the fifth is 6ft 3in Rasmus Hojlund.

The 20-year-old has enjoyed an incredible international break with five goals in two matches for Denmark.

He has scored seven goals in his debut campaign for Atalanta, following a £15m summer move from Austria's Sturm Graz.
