The Gunners are on the look out for a new centre-forward and Zirkzee is one of the top names on their wishlist.

Gazzetta dello Sport today claim that Milan are lining up a proposal for the striker, but they are trailing behind Arsenal .

The Gunners are reportedly 'above all' in the race for the Netherlands ace, who has made 19 goal contributions this term.

Mikel Arteta 's side are ready to trigger the €40m release clause in his contract as well as provide a €6m per year salary.

In comparison, Milan can only afford a long-term payment plan for Zirkzee. They could propose a loan deal with a buy obligation.

Arsenal are currently favourites to land the highly-rated striker, but the hierarchy may want to assess his injury situation first.

Zirkzee picked up a hamstring injury earlier this month, and it has been reported that he could be sidelined for four weeks.
