Lokomotiv Moscow striker Oumar Niasse could be set for a £15m move to the Premier League, with a host of clubs interested, including Arsenal.
According to reports in the Guardian, the Gunners are just one of a host of clubs monitoring the in-form striker’s progress.
Fellow Premier League clubs Manchester United, Spurs, Everton, Newcastle United and Aston Villa are also believed to be in the race to sign the 25-year-old.
The Senegalese forward joined the Russian side for a fee of £4m back in 2014, and since then, has netted 12 times in 28 appearances.
Niasse has also created goals, registering an impressive total of ten assists this season.
European giants Bayer Leverkusen and AS Monaco have both had bids rejected by Lokomotiv for their star striker.
With the likes of Danny Welbeck out injured, Wenger has just Theo Walcott and Olivier Giroud as senior options in the central forward role, meaning the signing of Niasse could provide some added, needed depth for Arsenal’s title run-in.
