​Arsenal are said to be in the hunt for Inter loanee Stevan Jovetic, according to ​Corriere dello Sport.





The Gunners have been linked with a move for the Montenegro international, along with Russian outfit Spartak Moscow, after the Italian news outlet claimed that Jovetic is no longer part of manager Roberto Mancini's plans at the San Siro.





Jovetic joined Inter on an 18-month loan deal from parent club Manchester City, but he is now set to return to the Etihad six months earlier than expected.

And the premature end to his temporary spell in Serie A is believed to have alerted Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger, who is on the lookout for striking reinforcements in the close season.





The Frenchman wants to bolster his firepower up front ahead of another tilt at the Premier League crown next season.





Wenger already has Olivier Giroud and Danny Welbeck at his disposal in the striking department, as well as the likes of Theo Walcott, Alexis Sanchez and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in the forward and wing positions.





Jovetic would provide competition for places in those areas of the field, with the 26-year-old capable of playing across the forward line.

The Londoners, however, will face opposition from Spartak Moscow for Jovetic's signature, with Corriere dello Sport stating that there is substantial interest in the attacker from the 21-time Russian Premier League winners.







Jovetic scored just seven times in 28 appearances last term for Inter Milan as they finished fourth in the league standings.





The former Fiorentina and FK Partizan man struggled to complete 90 minutes on a regular basis, however - just eight appearances for the Nerazzurri seeing Jovetic play the entire match.







Since making his competitive first-team debut in April 2006, Jovetic has bagged 75 goals and 40 assists in 242 club appearances, and has appeared on 40 occasions for his national side, scoring 16 times.
