Arsenal jump into battle for Eintracht Frankfurt striker Luka Jovic

Arsenal have jumped into the battle for Benfica striker Luka Jovic.

Marca says the 21-year-old hotshot has excelled on loan with German side Eintracht Frankfurt this season, catching the eye of Real Madrid and Chelsea plus a host of others.

And his 21 goals in 32 matches – making him joint-level with Bayern Munich's Robert Lewandowski in the Bundesliga scoring stakes – has earned him the nickname of “Serbian Falcao".

Now his exploits have caught the eye of Unai Emery, who wants to add the youngster to his attacking ranks this summer.

The Gunners boss is believed to want to bring in another frontman to rival Alex Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
