Arsenal identify £45m star as Eze alternative  image

Arsenal are still holding out for Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace, although his rumored release clause has expired. 

The Englishman has been linked with a move to Arsenal throughout the summer, along with several other clubs. 

Mikel Arteta is monitoring other attackers, and his latest target could be a cheaper option than Eze. 

Which £45m star is Arsenal interested in?

According to The Sun, Arsenal have regained interest in Atalanta's star Ademola Lookman.

The north London side has been linked with Lookman before, and he could come to the club as an alternative to Eze.

Inter Milan have had two bids rejected for Lookman, who has requested a transfer from Atalanta. 

Atalanta do not want to sell their star to another Serie A club, which could give Arsenal a boost in the race, although Atletico Madrid are also interested in Lookman. 

Arsenal could also make a move for the Nigerian should Leandro Trossard leave the club. 

Lookman scored 15 goals and had five assists in 31 Serie A games last season.
