Perhaps top of Wenger’s summer spending agenda is the need to strengthen his strike-force and this source believes that Fiorentina’s Stevan Jovetic is top of the pile of Arsenal targets to fill this role.
The 23 year old Montenegro international is the sort of flair player that would fit in well in Arsene Wenger’s starting eleven.
The Serie A forward can play both in a supporting striker role or as the lead attacker and Jovetic has continued to grow in this central role over the past 18 months, netting 14 goals in 27 matches last term and has managed 11 in 21 appearances during the current campaign.
Arsene Wenger will also opt to scrap Arsenal’s wage ceiling in the hope of attracting bigger name signings. Currently the club’s top earners, Lukas Podolski and Theo Walcott, command a salary in the region of £90k a week but the Gunners will look to offer as much as £150k to land their top targets this summer.
