ARSENAL reportedly checked out Andrija Zivkovic in Porto’s 1-0 win at Benfica.
A host of Premier League clubs had representatives looking at targets in Sunday’s top-of-the-table Primeira Liga clash.
Manchester United, Everton, Leicester, Liverpool, West Ham, Tottenham, Aston Villa, Southampton and Swansea all had scouts at the game.
And Portuguese title O Jogo say that the Gunners scout was taking a closer look at Benfica’s Serbian winger Andrija Zivkovic.
The tricky international joined from Partizan in 2016 and has made himself a regular starter in the Eagles’ side this season.
Zivkovic, 21, has also been linked with a move to United, who sent two scouts to the game and who he came on against in a 1-0 home Champions League defeat in October.
