Arsenal 'to make bid for Atalanta youngster Dejan Kulusevski'

Arsenal are reportedly expected to make a bid for Atalanta youngster Dejan Kulusevski in the summer transfer window.

According to Calciomercato, the Gunners have been tracking the 17-year-old, who has scored five goals and assisted seven others for the club's youth outfit this term.

The alleged move will be spearheaded by Arsenal's recruitment chief Sven Mislintat, who has reportedly earmarked Kulusevski as a top target for the North London club in the summer.

The Swede is yet to start a game for Atalanta's first team, but the Italian source adds that the Gunners will look to secure his future at the Emirates Stadium before developing him into a first-team player.

Other Italian clubs are also understood to be interested in the midfielder's services.
