Arsenal interested in Noah Okafor transfer with £25m-rated Red Bull Salzburg striker also wanted by rivals Tottenham
ARSENAL are reportedly interested in signing RB Salzburg striker Noah Okafor for around £25million.
The 22-year-old Swiss bagged 14 goals in 34 appearances for the Austrian outfit last season.

And he continued that fine form ahead of the World Cup, netting 10 times in 20 games.
That included strikes against Chelsea and AC Milan in the Champions League group stage.
His impressive stats have seen him garner interest from across Europe.
According to The Mail, both AC Milan and Inter Milan are monitoring his situation.
Alongside Arsenal, fellow Premier League sides Tottenham and West Ham are also keen on the forward.
And he could be available for a cut-price due to his contractual situation.
Okafor will enter the final 12 months of his deal this summer.
It means Salzburg are unlikely to command a fee representative of his stellar form.

The Switzerland international, who has bagged two goals in 12 caps for his country, is predominantly a central striker.
However, he can also be utilised on both wings.
Salzburg signed him from Basel in 2019 and have developed him in much the same way they improved Erling Haaland and Sadio Mane.
Meanwhile, Arsenal may well be looking to strengthen their attacking options if Folarin Balogun departs at the end of the season.
The Reims loanee has netted 17 Ligue 1 goals this term, but is still expected to return to the Gunners as third-choice behind Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah.
