Arsenal football club have endured a difficult first half of the 2020/2021 season so far following quite a busy summer transfer window.

The North London club completed the signings of Runar Alex Runarsson, Willian, Gabriel Magalhaes and defensive midfielder Thomas Partey during the summer transfer window last year but have not been really convincing so far.

The Gunners are currently lying in 11th position on the Premier League table after playing 17 matches so far this season.

The Emirates club have recorded just seven wins in the League this season and will be looking for players to further improve their squad.

Now that the January transfer window is opened, the Gunners want to improve their attacking options and have been linked with a move for Bursaspor striker Ali Akman.

The talented 18-year-old Turkey International has worked his way up to the Bursaspor's first team and he has impressed for the Turkish club so far this season.

The young prolific striker has scored nine goals in just 16 appearances for the Turkish club this season, thereby attracting interest from a host of European clubs.

And according to reports from The Sun, Arsenal are among the Premier League clubs eyeing a move for the talented frontman.

The North London club are looking to improve their goalscoring options and have identified a move for Ali Akman.

However, the Gunners are in a transfer battle to sign the striker as fellow Premier League club Chelsea have also been linked with a transfer move for him this year.

Also, Ali Akman has less than six months left on his current contract with the Turkish club and they could be tempted to cash in on him rather than lose him on a free transfer in the summer.

It is believed that Bursaspor are looking for a fee worth up to £3million in order to sanction a move for their youngster during the transfer window.
