Sevilla striker Youssef En-Nesyri is the latest striker being linked with a summer move to Arsenal, with suggestions the Gunners are set to rival Newcastle United for his signature.
The Moroccan international was one of the leading lights in Spanish football last season, scoring 18 goals in 23 La Liga starts. This campaign it has been a different story, however, in part due to a series of injuries, and he has struggled for game time, making just 13 league appearances, scoring three goals and providing one assists.
Sevilla are expected to demand around £26 million for the 24-year old, who has played 44 times for the Moroccan senior team, scoring 12 goals for them.
Signing a striker is the number one priority for the Gunners in the next transfer window, with both Eddie Nkteiah and Alexander Lacazette both out of contract at the end of the season. They have scored just three Premier League goals between them this season.

He loves all sports but football is his abiding passion, and he still has dreams every now and then about scoring the winning goal in a Wembley Cup Final, even though his playing days are long gone. He follows most major leagues, across Europe at least, and has a favoured team in each. When he’s not watching, listening, reading or downloading podcasts about football, he spend his time worrying about his beloved Arsenal.
