Former Birmingham City striker Nikola Zigic is reportedly a poised for a sensational move to Arsenal - according to his agent.

Milan Calasan claims the Gunners have offered the 33-year-old Serbian an unlikely route back into the Premier League.

Calasan is reported as saying: "He was offered a contract to the end of the year, with an option to extend until the end of 2015.

"We will see what happens, but everything Nikola has to decide."

Zigic left Blues in the summer after a four years in which he undoubtedly scored several vital goals - not least one in his final game for the club, the relegation decider at Bolton.

However, despite some at St Andrew's affording him cult status, many others believe the 6ft 7in target man failed to justify his handsome salary following his move from Valencia in 2010.

With the possible long term absence of Olivier Giroud and the slow transition to English football of big money signing Alexis Sanchez, Arsene Wenger has just a few days to find another striker before the transfer window shuts, after which he may have to look at free agents.
