Joshua Zirkzee to Arsenal FC?

The print edition of Tuttosport, meanwhile, indicates the Gunners have enjoyed a breakthrough in their hopes of landing Zirkzee, who has been one of European football’s revelations over the course of the last campaign.
The Dutchman has scored 11 Serie A goals and generated five assists for Thiago Motta’s as they have charged up the table into unexpected Champions League contention.
He could be Arsenal-bound in the summer, though.
The Italian source reports that the Gunners have been granted the opportunity to speak to Zirkzee’s agent, Kia Joorabchian.
The Gunners are ready to pay €60m to Bologna for the striker, who has been offered a five-year deal worth €6m per year to the striker. As such, the total value of this transaction to the Gunners is set to be in the region of €90m.

Arsenal are getting closer to bolstering Mikel Arteta’s squad with a new striker, as reports in Italy have provided a big hint Joshua Zirkzee will be arriving at the Emirates.
Arteta’s current striker options are Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah, though that might not be the case for much longer. Arteta has told Arsenal sporting director Edu Gaspar he needs a more efficient centre-forward to replace Jesus and net at least 25 goals per season.
Initially, Arsenal looked set to move for Brentford’s Toney, before moving on to Sporting CP goal machine Gyokeres.
But on Wednesday, it emerged that Arsenal are actually prioritising the arrival of Zirkzee, who currently represents Italian side Bologna.
It was claimed that the Gunners have struck an agreement on personal terms with Zirkzee and are also making progress in their talks with Bologna over a potential €60million (£51m) deal.
According to an update from Gazzetta dello Sport, AC Milan and Inter Milan remain in the mix for the 22-year-old’s signing, though there is a huge ‘threat’ coming from England, and that is Arsenal.
Due to the recent financial problems suffered by Italian clubs, Milan and Inter have little chance of matching any Arsenal bid for Zirkzee.
There is now a ‘great chance’ Arsenal will win the race for Zirkzee and tie him down to a long-term contract.
Arsenal’s superior financial power is the first reason the Dutchman is highly likely to be playing alongside Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli next term. The second is that Zirkzee views Arsenal’s style of play as being ‘perfect’, as it is both enjoyable and will help his development massively.
Zirkzee is not yet on the level of other top-class strikers such as Erling Haaland and Alexander Isak, having scored 12 goals in 34 appearances so far this season. However, Arsenal scouts feel he has the potential to emerge into a deadly goalscorer in the coming years.

Arsenal have reportedly tabled a five-year contract to Joshua Zirkzee in an attempt to beat strong competition to the Bologna forward's signature.

Its not happening player doesnt want arsenal move and arsenal are only scouting him as a 5th choice. If they can not get Sesko for any reason they will then pursue Zirkzee but as sesko has a £43 Mil clause they would only need to negotiate with player rather than player and team.
