Luka Jovic has scored 15 Bundesliga goals this season but could he be on his way to the Premier League with Arsenal?
Arsenal have made an enquiry to sign prolific Eintracht Frankfurt striker Luka Jovic this summer, according to Marca.
The so-called ‘Serbian Falcao’ has blossomed in Germany this season with Adi Hutter’s high-flying Frankfurt side, forming a thrilling front three with Croatian international Ante Rebic and French target man Sebastien Haller.
Jovic has scored 21 goals in 32 games in all competitions this season and is level with Robert Lewandowski at the top of the Bundesliga goal-scoring charts.
As a result, Arsenal have allegedly enquired about his services with Unai Emery seemingly keen to bring in another centre-forward to rival Alex Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Whether the Gunners could afford him remains to be seen. The Express reported on Monday that money is tight at the Emirates and the former Sevilla and PSG boss Emery will only have £40 million to spend on new players.
The Mail, however, report that Jovic could cost a lot more. Frankfurt are expected to trigger their option to sign him on a permanent basis from Benfica before selling him on for £52 million.
That fee would make Jovic the second most expensive player in Arsenal’s history.
