Metro UK reports Mikel Arteta has made the signing of a new striker one of his key priorities ahead of the summer transfer window.

However, the Arsenal boss also understood to be open to bolstering other areas of his attack.

It is for this reason the North Londoners have shortlisted Sterling among their summer targets.

The Telegraph claims Arsenal are monitoring Sterling’s situation at the Etihad and would be ready to make a move for the winger if he is available.

The report adds that Arteta is looking to make Sterling a ‘focal point’ of his attack, with the transfer heavily reliant on where his side will finish at the end of the season.

Arsenal linked with a move for Gabriel Jesus

Arsenal's interest in Sterling comes just days after they were linked with a move for City ace, Gabriel Jesus.

The Emirates outfit are believed to have opened talks with Jesus' representatives with the view of securing his services.

The Brazilian forward is thought to be more than willing to link up with Arteta at the Emirates, having played under him during the Spaniard's time at the Etihad as Pep Guardiola's assistant.
