Arsenal reportedly have Dusan Vlahovic and Dominic Calvert-Lewin on a two-man shortlist of potential forward arrivals in this summer transfer window.

Arsenal have reportedly identified Dusan Vlahovic and Dominic Calvert-Lewin as forward targets ahead of this summer's transfer window, with Mikel Arteta looking to add a different dimension to the Gunners' attack.

The Premier League leaders have fared excellently with the likes of Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah leading the line this season, with the North London club in the race for their first league title since the 2003-04 campaign.

The Gunners are four points ahead of current champions Manchester City, although they missed the chance to extend their advantage at the top of the league standings to six points after drawing 2-2 at West Ham United on Sunday afternoon.

According to Football Insider, Arsenal have drawn up a two-man shortlist for potential incomings in the striker position, narrowing their options down to Juventus' Vlahovic and Everton's Calvert-Lewin.

The reports adds that Vlahovic is the Gunners' preferred choice, with 26-year-old Calvert-Lewin viewed as the backup option if they cannot lure the Serbia international away from Turin.

It is believed Arteta would like to recruit a strong and physical forward who could complement the qualities of Jesus and Nketiah, with Vlahovic and Calvert-Lewin perceived as players who fit that description.

Arsenal welcome the Premier League's bottom club Southampton to the Emirates on Friday night, hoping to extend their lead on Pep Guardiola's Citizens to seven points ahead of the weekend.
