Report: Arsenal make contact to sign 'one of the most threatening wingers in England' alongside …

Arsenal have made contact about a move to sign Nottingham Forest star Anthony Elanga alongside Eberechi Eze, according to TBR Football.

The Gunners are in the market to bolster their attacking options during the summer transfer window for Mikel Arteta after finishing as Premier League runners-up for a third consecutive season.

A striker is seen as the priority target, while Crystal Palace star Eze is also wanted, but the club also want to sign a new winger and a new name has now emerged as a potential option for the squad.

Anthony Elanga in action for Nottingham Forest

The Gunners have been in the hunt for a new left-winger, with Real Madrid star Rodrygo deemed to be the "dream" target, although the north London side are still waiting for him to make a decision on his future.

That came after the club seemingly missed out on a deal for Nico Williams, who has opted to join Barcelona instead, and that has left Arteta looking at alternatives, with Elanga among the names considered.

Director of football Andrea Berta has been working on a number of options including Elanga, who has been described as 'one of the most threatening wingers in England', and contact has been made with his reps by a host of interested clubs.

Forest don't want to sell the Sweden international this summer and have already rejected a £45m offer from Newcastle United for his services, setting a £60m price tag in the hope of fending off interest.

It's unclear if Arsenal will make their interest in the former Man Utd star concrete, but there is appreciation for him within the Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners have also shown an interest in Chelsea winger Noni Madueke, with Florian Plettenberg revealing that they have made him an offer on personal terms. Arsenal are currently juggling a lot of options, but it's clear they want new attacking reinforcements in place this summer, and they have plenty of options.
