Arsenal are reportedly considering making a bid for Red Bull Salzburg star Noah Okafor, with Tottenham and West Ham also interested in the forward.
The Gunners have had an outstanding Premier League season so far, leading the table by eight points after 69 points from 28 games.
Furthermore, Mikel Arteta has seen his club score 66 goals, with Gabriel Martinelli leading the way with 13 strikes.
Nevertheless, injuries to Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah since December have left the North Londoners short in the final third.
In terms of next season, Arteta has the option of keeping Folarin Balogun in his senior team following his outstanding season on loan with Reims in France.
As things stand, Arsenal appear to have as much chance of cashing in on the England Under-21 international as they have of giving him another shot with the first squad.
Arsenal are considering a move for Okafor ahead of the 2023-24 season, according to the Daily Mail.
Despite being overshadowed by other players at Red Bull Salzburg, the 22-year-old Switzerland international remains a highly respected player.
In 108 games for the Austrian giants, the versatile forward has 34 goals and 23 assists, with six of his goals coming in the Champions League.

With less than 16 months left on his contract, a summer exit is likely, with a wide range of clubs set to make bids for the frontman.
Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United are also interested in Okafor, according to the report.
Furthermore, Italian heavyweights Inter Milan and AC Milan are interested, particularly if the player is offered for a low fee.
While no fee is stated, Transfermrket valued Okafor at €22m (£19.29m), which reflects his contract position.
