Arsenal have shown interest in Nigeria striker Emmanuel Emenike, the Metro Sports reports.
The gunners are ready to splash £15m in the January transfer window on the Fenerbache striker, who is yet to score this season, the UK-based paper said.
Emenike was widely reported to have being on Jose Mourinho wishlist in the summer but, that speculation have since being confirmed as mere rumour.
But now Arsenal are the front runners for his signature with Turkish newspaper Milliyet reporting that Arsene Wenger is lining up a deal for the new year.
The 27-year-old scored 12 goals in 28 matches last season and picked up nine assists. But experts of the English League suggest that Wenger may have opted to chase the Nigerian given that both Olivier Giroud and Theo Walcott are still off the field of play because of the respective injuries.
