\nArsenal reportedly have an advantage over Manchester United in the race to sign Bologna star Joshua Zirkzee.<\/p>\n

The striker position is understood to be a position Erik ten Hag wants to strengthen.<\/p>\n

Despite Rasmus Hojlund being in red-hot form and currently showing why United spent big money to sign him last summer, it’s clear more is needed in the attacking department.<\/p>\n

Young Hojlund needs help and United require sufficient and quality depth, especially considering Anthony Martial is on his way out of the club.<\/p>\n

It was previously stated<\/a> that the Red Devils will target Zirkzee when the summer transfer window opens.<\/p>\n

Bologna ae thought to be open to selling the player<\/a> and are holding out for more than \u20ac40 million due to Bayern Munich having a sell-on clause contained in his contract.<\/p>\n

Zirkzee scored a fantastic goal during the weekend – which was the winner against Lazio – to put his side in strong contention for a first European finish since 2000.<\/p>\n

It was his 10th goal of the campaign<\/p>\n

Italian publication Tuttomercatoweb<\/a> suggest that Arsenal have an advantage over other interested parties keen on Zirkzee, due to the excellent relationship they enjoy with the agent of the talisman.<\/p>\n

The newspaper explains that Zirkzee will cost teams around \u20ac50-60million. Only Bayern can re-sign him for \u20ac40m.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Corriere Dello Sport (via TEAMtalk<\/a>) relay that enthusiasm for the 22-year-old is growing and Chelsea are now monitoring him.<\/p>\n

The Blues are believed to have been scouting Zirkzee while in action for Bologna.<\/p>\n

Other parties credited with an interest include Juventus, AC Milan, Roma and Barcelona. It’s certainly shaping up to be a fierce transfer battle for the striker.
