Arsenal have become the latest club to be linked with a move for Atalanta BC striker Bryan Cristante.

The Gunners are planning to challenge clubs including Watford and Juventus for the 23-year-old's services this summer, reports Birmingham Live.

Cristante, who is on loan at Atalanta from parent club Benfica, has scored 10 times and produced a string of impressive performances for the Serie A side this term.

Inter Milan, Liverpool and West Ham United are also said to have monitored the forward's progress this season.

Cristante moved to Portugal after rising through the youth ranks at AC Milan and has also completed loan stints with Pescara and Palermo.
