**_Arsenal have reportedly narrowed their striker shortlist down to two names ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window._**
Mikel Arteta's side are expected to make major changes to the squad this summer, with signing a world-class striker seen as the top priority.
The likes of Benjamin Šeško, Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyökeres have all been heavily linked with a potential move to the Emirates.
According to journalist **_[Miguel Delaney of The Independent](https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/arsenal-transfer-news-gyokeres-sesko-isak-striker-b2751471.html)_**, the Gunners are currently deciding between two forwards as they step up their transfer plans for the window, which opens in just over two weeks.
The players in question are understood to be Sporting CP's Viktor Gyökeres and RB Leipzig's Benjamin Šeško.
Both forwards could be available for around £75m or less, which is believed to fit well within Arsenal's summer budget.
While Šeško fits the profile of what the club are looking for in a new number nine, there are doubts over whether he is the right man to lead Arsenal to glory.
Gyökeres, however, is seen as a more reliable option, with Mikel Arteta aware of the importance of adding a proven goalscorer to his side ahead of next season.
There is also interest in Eintracht Frankfurt forward Hugo Ekitike and Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins, but neither player is thought to be high on the club's striker shortlist.
