Arsenal scouting promising Benfica star

Arsenal are currently scouting Benfica winger Andrija Zivkovic as they look to bolster their squad ahead of next season, according to Football London.

The Gunners sent scouts to watch the winger as Benfica claimed a 5-0 victory over Maritimo at the Estadio da Luz, in which Zivkovic scored, to only enhance his reputation at the club.

The club have struggled with wingers this season, as they do not have too many options in that position, so the addition of Zivkovic would be welcome with the likes of Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Mesut Ozil being forced to play there at times.

The 21-year-old has featured 17 times for the Portuguese club so far this season, scoring on three occasions whilst also picking up one red card earlier in the season.

The winger does have a €60m release clause in his contract which could well be met by the Gunners this summer as they look to build for the long term.
