"?Arsenal are following the performances of Hoffenheim's young forward, Philipp Ochs, according to "?Bild.
The 19-year-old has impressed scouts with his performances for Germany's side at the Under-19 European Championship. The hosts lost two of their three games, resulting in a group stage exit, but Och's individual performances have put them on alert.
He scored a hat-trick against Portugal, though his country lost 4-3 - but this only went to outline his individual potential.
His vast potential has "?seen him make 13 appearances for his club's senior side in the Bundesliga as they finished 15th last season.
His agent Arthur Beck said: "Philip has attracted attention with strong performances - not only now at the European Championships."
Manager Arsene Wenger is renowned for his ability to spot talented young players and for allowing them to reach their potential - with players such as Thierry Henry, Cesc Fabregas and Ashley Cole all benefiting from his coaching.
The Frenchman has already strengthened his squad ahead of the new season with the signings of Granit Xhaka from Borussia Monchengladbach and Takuma Asano from Sanfrecce Hiroshima.
Asano is a 21-year-old Japanese forward who has already been capped at full international level, though they will have to wait to see him as he is at the Olympics with his country's Under-23 team in Brazil, as reported by "?the Mirror.
The Gunners are also looking to boost their attack with players who are already in the peak of their powers, with Napoli's Gonzalo Higuain widely linked with a move to the North London club. However, it would likely take a club-record transfer to tempt the Argentine.
