His form has caught the eye of several Italian clubs, but they are unlikely to have the financial muscle to compete with Arsenal .
Meanwhile, the Gunners have also received a boost with Bayern not looking to activate the €40m buy-back clause in Zirkzee's deal.
The German giants are happy with Harry Kane leading the line and they have a young striker in Mathys Tel to provide back-up.
This has handed the advantage to the Gunners in the pursuit of Zirkzee, but they still need to negotiate a fee with Bologna for him.
The Serie A outfit want around €50-60m for his services and a transfer could also depend on his current injury situation.
Zirkzee suffered a hamstring injury in the recent win over Napoli and further examination is expected before a timescale.
