Arsenal are considering a move for Hakan Calhanoglu as they look to bolster their attacking options, according to reliable journalist James Benge.

Calhanoglu is set to become a free agent as his contract with AC Milan expires at the end of June, and he has yet to sign a new deal.

The 27-year-old was a regular starter for Milan last season, scoring four goals in 33 appearances to help the team claim second spot in Serie A.

Along with veteran striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Calhanoglu played a key role in spearheading Milan’s first Champions League qualification since the 2013/14 season.

Arsenal are currently in a mess after finishing eighth in the Premier League last season and failing to qualify for the Europa League.

The Gunners play as though they are a mid-table outfit these days and need to make smart additions to their squad this summer.

Calhanoglu is at the peak of his career, and he could be a smart addition to the Gunners’ ranks.

However, there will be plenty of clubs monitoring the Turk’s performances at the upcoming European Championships.
