It is anticipated that Mikel Arteta will search for a striker this summer with Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah – the latter of whom is tipped to exit – scoring just 14 goals between them all season, nine of which have come in the Premier League.
Zirkzee, who has 12 goals this term, has been a key part of Bologna’s push for a top four spot in Serie A and at 22 still has potential to grow. He’s even been compared with Brazilian great Ronaldinho by his manager Thiago Motta thanks to his impressive footwork.
He is thought to have drummed up interest within Italy, with some of the league’s biggest clubs keeping tabs on the attacker, whose contract still has two years to go.
Italian outlet Gazzetta also reports that recently-crowned Serie A champions Inter are considering a move to Zirkzee, which would pose a greater threat to Arsenal than Juventus or Milan. A decision will be made in the coming days whether Internazionale indeed trigger an official approach, it claims.
