Both Arsenal and Liverpool are being linked with Swedish striker Alexander Isak.
He currently plays in Spain with Real Sociedad, scoring 17 times in 34 league appearances last season, and providing two assists.
Isak went on to catch the eye playing for Sweden at the Euros, and, although he has goals harder to come by in this campaign so far, he is still highly rated.
The 22-year old has previously admitted that, although he is happy in Spain, he does harbour ambitions of playing int eh Premier League one day.
Signing a striker next summer is a priority for the Gunners, with both Alexander Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah out of contract, and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang entering the final year of his own current deal.
Spanish media reports suggest they have made signing Isak a priority, but they could face competition from Liverpool, who want to boost their own striking options next summer.
