Arsenal have reportedly identified out of favour Real Madrid striker Luka Jovic as a replacement for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
The Gunners are braced to lose their club captain at the end of the season and talks over a bumper new contract appear to have stalled.
And Arsenal are said to be keen to avoid losing their top scorer for nothing, and may be tempted to cash in - with the Emirates outfit eyeing up a potential swoop for Jovic as an alternative.
Jovic has notably struggled to make an impact during his first campaign in Madrid, having scored just two goals in 24 appearances, but Mikel Arteta is thought to view the frontman as a solution to Aubameyang's departure.
