Real Madrid forward Luka Jović is back in Arsenal sights once more.
The Gunners were interested in the 24-year old during the January transfer windqw, but an injury to Karim Benzema put paid to that at the time.
However, with Benzema restored to full fitness and now scoring regularly, Jović finds himself on the side-lines at the Bernabeu and now he wants to leave the Spanish club.
The Gunners . though, could face familiar competition for his signature, with both Tottenham and West Ham both reported to be monitoring his situation.
Jović, who is valued at around £16 million, is under contract at La Liga side until 2025.
Anybody though who thinks he is a prolific striker may want to consider his statistics this season – he has scored one goal and provided two assists in 17 appearances.
That is hardly the form that persuaded Real to paly Benfica £51 million when they signed the Serbian striker in 2019.
