Arsenal could reportedly try to sign Fulham striker Kostas Mitroglou this summer, although his current loan club Benfica also want to snare him permanently.

Premier League giants Arsenal have reportedly identified Fulham striker Kostas Mitroglou as a possible transfer target this summer.

The 28-year-old has not played for Fulham for almost two years after making just three appearances and failing to score as the club were relegated in 2013-14 following an £11m move from Olympiacos.

However, he has scored 34 league goals the last two seasons on loan with first former club Olympiacos and then this term Portuguese league leaders Benfica.

His form has alerted Arsenal, but Benfica still want to sign him permanently this summer, according to A Bola.

Mitroglou still has two years left on his Fulham contract.
