Japanese international Shinji Okazaki is linked with Arsenal and Spurs
Japan striker Shinji Okazaki could be on his way to the Premier League, with Arsenal, Tottenham and Liverpool supposedly interested.
The forward, who plays in the Bundesliga for Mainz, has already scored 5 goals in 6 league games this season.
Some Premier League scouts have attended recent Mainz games, and will have been impressed by Okazaki’s eye for goal.
He played every minute of Japan’s winless World Cup campaign in the summer, scoring a superb header against Colombia.
Tottenham continue to struggle for goals and Okazaki could be the solution, though Arsenal looks the most likely destination if any.
Okazaki is priced at around £8 million, but that could be reduced with just two years left on his current contract.
