Arsenal have made contact with Torino for Alessio Cerci.

Toro president Urbano Cairo is prepared to sell the Italy international this week.

AC Milan and Atletico Madrid have both made attempts for Cerci, but refuse to meet Cairo's asking price.

Torino are refusing to sell for less than €20 million.

A deal for Cerci would allow Gunners boss Arsene Wenger to push Alexis Sanchez into a more central striker's role.
