It is reported that Crystal Palace, Brentford and Wolves are all interested in the striker, who has made 13 starts for the Gunners this season.
– Juventus have identified the Genoa striker Mateo Retegui as a potential target this summer, according to Calciomercato.

The 24-year-old has scored eight goals and three assists in all competitions for Genoa this season.
– RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner is willing to stay at Tottenham, although the Premier League side have not decided whether they will make his move permanent, according to Fabrizio Romano. The tweet indicates that the Germany international is willing to stay with Spurs, who have the option to turn his loan deal into a permanent €17 million deal. Despite this, it appears that Spurs are yet to decide whether they will look to bring Werner to the club on a permanent basis. The 28-year-old has two goals and two assists in eight Premier League appearances since his January loan spell.
– Internazionale mulls possible move for Bayern Munich defender Kim Min Jae, reports La Gazzetta dello Sport. The 27-year-old has fallen out of favor with the Bavarian club, which could open up the possibility of a departure, just a year after joining the German champions. The report states that Inter are long-time admirers of the defender, but they are aware that a permanent deal will require deep pockets. As a result, it is reported that Inter could instead look to complete a loan deal.
– Juventus consider signing Arsenal midfielder Jorginho, reports Calciomercato. The report reveals that the Gunners have offered the 32-year-old a one-year extension. However, it is understood that the Italy international is considering a return to Serie A. Juventus are said to be keeping an eye on the situation and ready to present an offer to Jorginho if he rejects Arsenal's approach.
