Arsenal are considering a move for Dinamo Zagreb winger Mislav Oršić.

The attacker rose to prominence after a stunning hat trick against Tottenham in the Europa League round of 16 second leg.

Given his outstanding display against a top Premier League side, Arsenal may believe Oršić has what it takes to excel in England.

The Times reports that the Gunners are keeping tabs on the player and will make a move in the summer.

Mikel Arteta does want to improve his attacking options, especially if he sells Alexandre Lacazette in the summer.

Lacazette is heading towards the final 12 months of his current contract, but there’s no sense of urgency from the manager, as he insists it’s a situation they’ll deal with at the end of the season.

We will talk in the summer and make a decision on what is going to happen, said the Spaniard.

We haven’t talked about anything relating to his contract. I’m delighted with the way he is performing, the goals he is scoring and the form and energy he is in at the moment.

He needs to keep doing that.

Said Arteta.

Lacazette is the club’s leading scorer in all competitions this season with 11 goals to his name.
