Arsenal register interest in signing £25million-rated Red Bull Salzburg forward Noah Okafor ahead of the summer transfer window... but face competition from Tottenham and West Ham

Red Bull Salzburg are braced for Premier League interest in Noah Okafor as they prepare for a summer battle to retain their £25million-rated forward.

Premier League leaders Arsenal are among the clubs who have assessed the credentials of Swiss star Okafor ahead of a summer when they plan to increase their attacking options. The 22-year-old has also been looked at by Tottenham and West Ham.

Following a breakout season last term in which he scored 14 times in 34 appearances for Austrian side Salzburg, Okafor further enhanced his reputation with 10 goals in 20 games ahead of the World Cup.
