Arsene Wenger is set to go shopping in Africa once again this summer as he bids to strengthen his Arsenal squad.

Wenger is eyeing up a move for Algerian international striker Kamel Ghilas, who has already had a spell on trial at the club earlier this season when catching the eye of Wenger.

Ghilas' asking price seems to have risen from £1.75million to £4million in the last few months after continuing to impress in Portugal, but that will not be a problem for Wenger.

The 24-year-old has put in a number of eye-catching performances for Vitoria Guimares for the last couple of seasons and clubs are starting to take notice of him.

Ghilas, who hails from Marseille, played for AS Cannes before heading to Portugal and has won six caps, scoring two goals for Algeria.
