Now Vlahovic is heading elsewhere, which other strikers should Arsenal sign? By Jack Lacey-Hatton An Arsenal target for so long, Dusan Vlahovic agreeing a move to Juventus is tough news to take. The Serbian goal machine would have undoubtedly transformed the Arsenal frontline overnight and helped manager Mikel Arteta improve his sides’ goal threat. Instead, he has agreed a move to the Old Lady.  But with the club hierarchy still desperate to shift Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang out of North London, which other strikers should the Gunners be looking at? Here is a shortlist of three forwards that should be on the recruitment teams’ radar as the January transfer window nears a conclusion.   Victor Osimhen Napoli star Victor Osimhen should be the first player Arsenal turn towards after the failure to sign Vlahovic. Gazzetta dello Sport in Italy, have reported the Nigeria international has been priced at £58m (€70m), but this would be worth every penny if he can add 8-10 goals between n...

Do Arsenal lack attacking quality? By Jonny Bray It's strange what a difference a year can make in football. If you'd asked me where Arsenal don't need to invest for much of the past three or four years, I would have said upfront. And yet, with the end of the January transfer window fast approaching, The Gunners appear to be in desperate need of a goalscorer. During the window, Mikel Arteta's side has been linked with several of the most exciting young forwards in European football. Dominic Calvert-Lewin of Everton, Dušan Vlahović of ACF Fiorentina and Real Sociedad's Alexander Isak have all emerged as possible targets for The Gunners. After the 0-0 draw against Burnley, Arteta made his intentions abundantly clear, stressing that Arsenal aren't good enough going forward. He said: "We lacked quality in attack.

Mikel Arteta's team could still do with some improvements though, especially if they want to build on the progress from the first half of the campaign.  But who are Arsenal's transfer targets this January? Dominic Calvert-Lewin We've been saying it for months, Dominic Calvert-Lewin would be a perfect fit at Arteta's Arsenal.  Young, English, and with plenty of ro...

By Oli Dickson Jefford One of Arsenal’s biggest transfer targets in the next couple of windows will likely be a new striker with Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang both entering the latter stages of their careers. And, with Aubameyang’s commitment and discipline publicly questioned by Mikel Arteta ahead of the 3-0 win against Southampton, this might be something Arsenal look to sort shortly. Someone who has been linked to the club for a while now is Everton star Dominic Calvert-Lewin, though the England international is currently sidelined with injury. In his absence Richarlison has been leading Everton’s attack and he caused havoc for Arsenal’s backline last Monday, and now many Gunners fans are keen to see him move to North London, With rumours linking both Toffees stars to the club, who would be the best fit for Arsenal? The case for Calvert-Lewin Perhaps Calvert-Lewin’s biggest selling point is his greater consistency. It took a while for him to grow into the striker...
