Italian Serie A outfit Bologna have set their sights on Nigerian striker Gift Orban, according to reports.
The club has identified the 21-year-old as a potential replacement for Joshua Zirkzee, who is on Arsenal's radar ahead of the summer transfer window.
Orban, who has yet to make a senior appearance for the Super Eagles, currently plies his trade for Olympique Lyonnais in French Ligue 1.
Since joining Lyon from the Jupiler League in January, the forward has scored 3 goals in 16 appearances.
Considering his current role as a backup to former Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette, Orban might be open to a move to Serie A.
Additionally, Bologna's qualification for the UEFA Champions League, having finished 3rd in Serie A this season, could be an enticing prospect for the young striker.
