Arsenal are among the teams who are battling to secure Ligue 1 prodigy Hugo Ekitike.

According to Calciomercato, Arsenal are hard at work to secure quality forwards for next season.

While the team does want to sign a marquee striker, they are also in the market for a younger forward.

The source claims that 19-year-old Ekitike is an alternative to Jonathan David and Alexander Isak for the Gunners.

The prospect has a value of roughly £16.7m million, and is also wanted by Newcastle United, West Ham, and other teams across Europe.
