Arsenal are making enquiries for Parma striker Ishak Belfodil.
Just 20, the Algerian forward has made 16 appearances and scored five goals for Parma and his progress has caught the eye of Gunners chief scout Steve Rowley.
Italian transfer expect Gianluca Di Marzio, of Sky Italia, says Arsenal have already opened talks with Parma about a price for Belfodil.
A deal for June is being mooted.
