Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic emerges as a summer transfer target for Arsenal and Newcastle United, according to a report.

Arsenal and Newcastle United are reportedly both interested in signing Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic during this summer's transfer window.

The 27-year-old has been in excellent form for the Cottagers during the 2021-22 campaign, scoring 40 times in 40 Championship appearances to help his club secure a return to the Premier League.

Mitrovic has previously played in the Premier League for both Newcastle and Fulham, boasting a record of 24 goals and 10 assists in 104 outings in England's top flight.

The Serbia international only signed a new long-term contract with Marco Silva's side last August, but there is currently speculation surrounding his future due to his scoring form this term.

According to journalist Ekrem Konur, both Arsenal and Newcastle are keeping a close eye on the centre-forward with a view to possible moves in the upcoming market.

Mitrovic represented Newcastle between 2015 and 2018, scoring 17 times in 72 appearances for the Magpies before making the move to Fulham.

Arsenal are expected to move for a couple of new forwards this summer, with Eddie Nketiah and Alexandre Lacazette potentially both leaving on free transfers.
