Arsenal are planning to watch defender Josip Sutalo today and also want his Dinamo Zagreb teammate Martin Baturina.
All eyes will be on the Etihad Stadium tonight as Arsenal take on Manchester City in a potential title decider.
Mikel Arteta and co will be fully focused on the biggest game of the season – but the recruitment plans don’t stop.
Croatian newspaper Sportske Novosti report that Arsenal are planning to scout Dinamo Zagreb defender Josip Sutalo this evening.
Dinamo take on Varazdin today as they close in on another league title.
Arsenal will be there to watch Sutalo ahead of potentially making a summer move.
24 Sata reported Arsenal’s interest in Sutalo just a few days ago.
It’s now claimed that Dinamo would ‘immediately accept’ an Arsenal bid of around €20million to €25million (£18million to £22million).
Sutalo is a right-footed centre back with huge potential at just 23.
The idea may be for Arsenal to sign Sutalo and make him the new backup to William Saliba, effectively replacing Rob Holding.
Arsenal also want Josip Sutalo’s teammate Martin Baturina
The report also suggests that Arsenal fancy Dinamo talent Martin Baturina, who should feature alongside Sutalo this evening.
Baturina has impressed this season with five goals and nine assists in 28 appearances.
The 20-year-old playmaker has been tipped for a bright future and has played as an attacking midfielder and in a slightly deeper role.
Baturina is very technically gifted and would provide Arsenal with another creative midfielder alongside Martin Odegaard and Fabio Vieira.
We could see Arsenal push for a double deal involving defender Sutalo and playmaker Baturina.
Dinamo aren’t really keen on selling Baturina though, meaning Sutalo is the main reason for Arsenal’s trip.
Much will depend on tonight though as Arsenal look at potential signings even with a huge game just hours away.
