The Gabonese striker netted 40 goals last season and has attracted the attention of a host of top clubs including Chelsea and Liverpool this summer.

Jack Wilshire
Linked Club: Sampdoria
Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio has claimed that Arsenal have put a £10m price on Jack Wilshire following interest from Italian side Sampdoria. Should the club sell star striker Patrik Schick to Juventus, as is being reported, then they will certainly have the necessary funds to finance a move for Wilshire. However, with Schick’s move reaching a stumbling block over his medical, take this rumour with a pinch of salt.
