According to Sky Sports Germany, Bayern and Arsenal have both shortlisted the Japan international as a target this summer. The Gunners are looking at numerous profiles who could fit the bill in north London, and Mitoma is one of those who new sporting director Andrea Berta has taken a shine to.

Arsenal have moved ahead in the race for Viktor Gyökeres by holding firm talks with the striker's agent on Wednesday, while Liverpool are set to make a move for Paris Saint-Germain forward Bradley Barcola.
