Arsenal's forward line has been lacking in recent years and despite the excelling performances of Alexis Sanchez, whilst Olivier Giroud continues to put a shift in when called upon, the Gunners may well look in the market for a top-class recruit this summer.

Recent reports suggest the North London side are one of many Premier League outfits keeping tabs on Porto ace Andre Silva, with the 21-year-old potentially being the ideal recruit for Arsenal in the long-term.

Providing a breath of fresh air into Arsenal's attack, Andre Silva could become the next superstar striker at the Emirates Stadium and his statistics for the season suggest the Gunners should do all they can to land his signature.

Boasting an impressive tally of 13 goals and 4 assists in 22 appearances in the Portuguese league this season, Andre Silva has also proven himself on the international stage by netting four goals in five appearances- which includes a hat-trick against the Faroe Islands in October.

Winning 17 take-ons also shows Andre Silva is capable when running at an opponent and he's created 29 chances this season, which would allow him to link-up with the likes of Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil at the Emirates Stadium.
