Arsenal ready to burn off competition for Juventus striker Alvaro Morata

Arsenal are determined to land Juventus striker Alvaro Morata.

The Sun says Arsenal are looking to make Morata their marquee striker signing this summer despite facing competition from Chelsea and Manchester United.

Real Madrid are set to re-sign the forward in a £25m deal, but Zinedine Zidane intends to move him on for around £40m.

And Arsenal are ready to make Morata the club's best-paid player ahead of Mesut Ozil, with the Spaniard set to receive a wage offer worth £155,000-per-week.
