Arsenal are reportedly keen on Napoli striker Arkadiusz Milik.

Arsenal are likely to be in the market for a host of new signings this summer, and new strikers are being linked with the club.

The Gunners may face decisions on the futures of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette, though Eddie Nketiah’s emergence is a big help.

Still, Arsenal are being tipped to sign a new striker, and a new name was linked earlier this week in Napoli striker Arkadiusz Milik.

Calcio Napoli 24 report that Arsenal are in the mix for Milik, alongside Tottenham Hotspur, Atletico Madrid, Borussia Dortmund and Valencia.

Napoli are reportedly willing to sell Milik for €45million (£40million) this summer, and Arsenal are allegedly keen on a move which would surely only materialise if Lacazette leaves.

The 26-year-old has hit 12 goals in 22 games this season, but his injury problems have seen him sit on the sidelines for large spells of the campaign.

Whilst Tottenham fans are keen on a move for Milik, Arsenal fans don’t seem too keen at the moment, taking to Twitter to suggest that Milik isn’t good enough for the Premier League as he’s ‘bang everage’.

Some called Milik ‘not elite at all’, even claiming that he would just be another Olivier Giroud and no better than what Arteta already has at his disposal.
