Arsenal is one of the teams watching Bundesliga attacker

Arsenal is among the clubs interested in Igor Matanovic, who has made an impressive start to the season for Freiburg and established himself as one of the Bundesliga’s most effective attackers.

The 23-year-old Croatian has scored three goals and provided one assist in his first four league appearances this season. His performances have continued the progress he made last term, when he also impressed and demonstrated that he is maturing into a more complete forward.

Arsenal has monitored Matanovic for several months and believes he could be ready to move to a bigger club. The Gunners are assessing several attacking options as they plan for the next transfer window.

Caught Offside reports that Matanovic is one of the attackers Arsenal has added to its transfer list. The Gunners have reportedly watched him regularly and view him as a player who could make the step up to the Premier League.

Arsenal has several forwards under consideration, but Matanovic is believed to be among those viewed as ready for a move to the Emirates. His strong form for Freiburg has strengthened that belief.

The striker offers physical presence and remains capable of improving further. Arsenal believes that playing alongside higher quality teammates in north London could help him develop into an even more effective attacker.
