Arsenal are keeping tabs on Champions League top scorer Luiz Adriano, according to Metro.
The reports have recently linked the player with a move away from his side Shakhtar Donetsk and further confirmed earlier today that he is eyeing for a move in the summer.
The Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has shortlisted several strikers including Palermo youngster Paulo Dybala and Porto star Jackson Martinez for the summer move.
Arsenal current striker have not been able to score more than 20 goals a season and the boss is keen to strengthen his attacking area to challenge for the Premier League title next season.
Olivier Giroud and Danny Welbeck are Arsenal current senior strikers. Giroud has been good in the past few games while Welbeck has spent most of his time on the bench due to tough competition in the squad.
Adriano, who is leading the Champions League goal scoring chart with nine goals for the Ukrainian side is keen to join a top European club.
Metro quoted him saying: “I am in a good moment of my career. With my contract set to expire and many good performances, it’ll be difficult to stay in Ukraine.”
His contract is also nearing its end and the player has no plans to sign a new deal.
On the other hand, Arsenal are likely to seal Morgan Schneiderlin deal as he confirmed that he will leave Southampton if they fail to get the Champions League spot.
