Arsenal are the latest Premier League club to be linked with CSKA Moscow striker Seydou Doumbia.
The Gunners are reportedly holding talks with the £26m-rated forward, who has also been linked with Chelsea and Liverpool.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is hoping to negotiate with the Russian club in a bid to land the Ivory Coast international for less, the Daily Mail claims.
Montpellier's Olivier Giroud is understood to be Wenger's primary target this summer, though Doumbia is said to have been on his radar for some time.
Doumbia has scored 33 times in 53 appearances this season for CSKA.
