Juventus and AC Milan are fearing that one of their key transfer targets will snub them in favour of a move to Arsenal this summer.
The Gunners have had a fine season, haven’t they?
They are still battling Manchester City to win the Premier League title and if results go their way in the next three weeks, they could end the season as champions.
Irrespective of what happens, Arsenal are expected to be active in this summer’s transfer window, and a new forward is likely to be high up on Mikel Arteta‘s transfer wish list.
The North Londoners are targeting one striker who has been linked with a move to AC Milan and Juventus, and the two Italian clubs think Arsenal will lure him away from them.
What Juventus and AC Milan think of Arsenal target Joshua Zirkzee
Joshua Zirkzee has been on Arsenal’s radar for a few months now.
The Dutch international, formerly of Bayern Munich, has had a really impressive season at Serie A side Bologna.
Zirkzee has scored 12 goals and provided seven assists in all competitions this season, and he is expected to be a wanted man once the summer transfer window opens.
GiveMeSport claim this week that AC Milan and Juventus are both interested in signing Zirkzee from Bologna in the upcoming window.
However, the two Italian clubs are now worried about one thing – Arsenal.
The report claims that Zirkzee’s suitors in the Serie A have started to explore other options ‘due to fears that the Bologna star would prefer to seal a summer move to the Emirates Stadium’ instead.
It has further been revealed that Arsenal have not been put off by Bologna’s demands to sell their star striker – the Italian side wants a fee in the region of £51 million this summer.
Four other strikers Arsenal are looking at along with Zirkzee
TBR Football exclusively revealed recently that Arsenal are interested in Joshua Zirkzee.
The Gunners have watched him play on multiple occasions this season, and they have been impressed with what he has done at Bologna.
However, Zirkzee isn’t the only one on Arsenal‘s radar.
TBR Football understands that the likes of Dusan Vlahovic, Benjamin Sesko, Lois Openda and Alexander Isak are all being monitored by the Gunners ahead of the summer transfer window.
It will be interesting to see who Mikel Arteta will go after. If he wants our advice, we think he should go all out on Isak.
