Arsenal 'interested' in rivalling Tottenham for £43m summer transfer
Arsenal have been linked with a move for another striker ahead of the summer transfer window.
The Gunners were widely tipped to sign a new centre forward during the January transfer window amid their current injury woes. Arsenal are currently without Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus, Kai Havertz and Gabriel Martinelli, who are all on the sidelines with injuries.
As a result, Arsenal have been heavily linked with signing a new striker ever since last summer, with those rumours only intensifying as the injuries mounted up. With the Gunners now having to wait until the summer to do any business, a fresh report has emerged claiming to name a new target to add to Mikel Arteta's squad.

According to Caught Offside, Fiorentina striker Moise Kean has emerged as a target for Arsenal heading into the summer transfer window. The report claims that the Gunners have expressed an interest in signing Kean but will face competition from Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa.
It has been reported that Kean has a €52million (£43million) release clause in his contract at Fiorentina, which Arsenal are considering activating to bring the striker to the Emirates Stadium. The report goes on to say that the 24-year-old would be interested in a return to the Premier League if Arsenal do express an interest.
Kean previously had a spell at Everton, where he scored just four goals across 39 appearances. The striker has since returned to Italy with former club Juventus and now finds himself at Fiorentina, where he is enjoying some of the best goalscoring form across his career with 19 goals in all competitions.
It's not just Kean who has been linked with a move to Arsenal in the striker rumour mill. The Italy international joins Alexander Isak of Newcastle United, Benjamin Sesko of RB Leipzig, Victor Osimhen of Galatasaray, and Viktor Gyokeres of Sporting Lisbon as other strikers to be credited as potential targets for the Gunners.
