Arsenal plan massive contract offer for Real Madrid striker Luka Jovic

Arsenal are closing on a deal for Real Madrid striker Luka Jovic.

The Sun says Gunners boss Mikel Arteta could dip into the market for a new striker this summer, with captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang out of contract next year and the future of Alexandre Lacazette uncertain.

And according to reports, the Gunners may offer Jovic a way out of Madrid worth £170,000-a-week.

The Serbian striker has struggled at the Bernabeu since his £54million move from Eintracht Frankfurt last summer, scoring just twice in 24 appearances this season.

But if he makes the move to the Emirates, fans will be hoping he can rediscover the form that saw him score 27 times in 48 appearances during his last season in Germany.
