Arsenal youngster Nikolaj Moller is being targeted by several European teams who are keen on signing the striker on a season-long loan, according to reports. The 18-year-old striker signed for the Gunners from Swedish club Malmo last summer and has been likened to both Nwankwo Kanu and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Football.london are reporting that the Gunners have told a number of clubs based in the UK and around Europe that Moller is available on loan.
They add that academy chief Per Mertesacker will consider sanctioning a loan move abroad in order to for the youngster to continue his development.
A Sweden under-19 international, Moller spent most of his career with Malmo in his native country, before moving to north London.
The 6ft 2ins centre forward did spend 18 months on loan at Serie A outfit Bologna.
While in Italy he drew comparisons with his compatriot Ibrahimovic, who starred for AC Milan and Juventus in the Italian top flight.

“The excitement of his talent is definitely growing,” he said.
“If you break out all the qualities that a striker requires, Niko has them.
“When he gets a really hard, high pass, he can bring it in at quite high speeds.
“He can dribble, and when he has the opportunity to finish, he can do that as he has the quality to hit the ball really well.
“So, if you bring all those skills together, he’s a super talent.
“The thing that I think about him is that, when it comes to a higher level when space is smaller and everything goes faster, he still has something to develop to connect all those skills together and produce them in the game.
“He still needs to work on that.
“But Nico has the quality to play at a really high level.”
