Arsenal are moving for Espanyol striker Raul de Tomas.

The Gunners are eager to recruit a new striker before next season, with Eddie Nketiah and Alexandre Lacazette set to be out of contract.

AS says Arsenal are interested in Espanyol hitman Raul de Tomas - but won't pay his £58million release clause.

Should they offload Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, however, the Gunners may intensify negotiations for De Tomas.

They add that an agreement was reached between Aubameyang and Barcelona a number of days ago.

There is still some way to go for Arsenal and Barcelona to agree terms, however.
