Arsenal have been linked with a move for the Bologna striker Joshua Zirkzee.
The 22-year-old has done quite well this season and he has 12 goals and seven assists to his name in all competitions.
Zirkzee has been linked with a move away from Bologna in the summer and it remains to be seen whether Arsenal can get the deal done.
They are not the only club keen on the Dutchman and therefore they should look to make their move swiftly and get him signed up.
A report from Gazzetta Dello Sport (h/t SportWitness) claims that Arsenal could have a good chance of landing the striker because of two reasons – their financial prowess and playing style.
They have the resources to pay the asking price for the player and their attacking football would be an enticing factor for the player.

Arsenal need to bring in a reliable attacker this summer. Gabriel Jesus has not been at his best and he has found the back of the net just four times in the league. Zirkzee could prove to be an upgrade on the Brazilian.
The Dutchman is not an out-and-out number nine though and he is a creative forward who loves to drift wide and drop down to link up with his teammates. A move to Arsenal could be ideal for him. He would be a good fit for Arsenal’s flexible front three.
It will be interesting to see if Arsenal submit an official offer to sign the player in the coming months.
They will be hoping to win the league title and do well in the Champions League. They need to plug the gaps in their squad during the summer transfer window. Signing a quality forward should be one of their top priorities heading into the summer window.
