Arsenal swoop in to sign 22-year-old forward

North London side Arsenal have shown big interest in Willem ll Tilburg forward Donis Avdijaj and are already taking steps to have his signature ahead of the winter transfer window which reopens in coming weeks.

With English international Danny Welbeck set to stay out of action for a long period of time, the Gunners are making efforts to have more additions as it is not clear if he will return back as an Arsenal player.

Donis Avdijaj is tipped to be a good fit for the North London side and of a higher level than the former Man United forward which makes him preferred by manager Unai Emery.
