Arsenal Football Club are said to be targeting a move for Mario Mandzukic.

The 23-year-old striker is perhaps best known in England for scoring against Fabio Capello’s side in September 2008, albeit a consolation in that famous 4-1 defeat for Croatia.

Mandzukic is currently contracted to Dinamo Zagreb, who signed him in the summer of 2007 in a €1.3million deal NK Zagreb when Eduardo left for the Emirates Stadium.

The Croatian duo could soon be lining up alongside each other if a report in the Mail on Sunday is correct, which states Arsene Wenger could bid for him this month.

The Gunners are in a great position to challenge for honours this season, but the injury to Robin van Persie remains a concern and a replacement is being sought.

Mandzukic can also play on the wing which would give Wenger an extra option, although his best position is centre-forward, which is reflected in his return of 34 goals in 65 league games.
