Cody Gakpo is a name causing a stir among many of European football's elite clubs. Arsenal are among the interested parties competing for the striker's signature alongside Liverpool, Barcelona and Bayern Munich.
The Gunners are in the market for a new forward this summer following the exit of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to the Camp Nou during the January transfer window. Alexandre Lacazette has performed admirably since his partner's departure but he too is likely to leave the club soon, leaving Mikel Arteta short of options, with Eddie Nkwetiah also likely to leave the Emirates in the close-season.
Dusan Vlahovic was heavily linked with a move to the Emirates before opting to join Juventus in January, while interest in Real Sociedad's Alexander Isak appears to have cooled. Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins and Everton's Dominic Calvert-Lewin are two other names to be linked in the past, with Arteta seemingly eager to land a long-term option in attack.
