ARSENAL’s desperation for more firepower was glaring in their FA Cup exit to Manchester United.
The Gunners produced 26 SHOTS in the third round tie but had just one goal to show for it as several players missed chances to win the match. Striker Kai Havertz was guilty of missing the best two opportunities to win the game, and also saw his penalty saved in the shoot-out which proved decisive.
That has renewed talk that Arsenal need to sign a striker, with former forward Theo Walcott claiming things have gone a bit stale.
Walcott told BBC Sport: “It’s like everyone else has said before. Arsenal need a striker at this time because it would have been a completely different story.
“Arsenal have gone from being a free-flowing forward line, exciting the crowd, to going a bit stale. You need players to do something differently and they haven’t got that at the moment.”
Arsenal dream of signing Alexander Isak from Newcastle, and were linked with a move three years ago before he joined the Magpies.
But the Swede is now hot property after proving himself as one of the best goalscorers in the Premier League, so the Gunners could be priced out of a move with Newcastle valuing him at a staggering £150MILLION.
That means Arsenal will realistically have to look elsewhere this window, and SunSport has taken a look at six targets that could genuinely make the move to the Emirates this month…
Another Swede, Gyokeres would certainly fit the mould after blossoming at Sporting.
He made the step up from Championship Coventry seamlessly and has 75 goals in 80 games in Portugal.
Gyokeres, 26, scores all types of goals including free-kicks and penalties, and his pace and power could devastate Prem defences in a style akin to Erling Haaland.
However Gyokeres is attracting plenty of attention and has been linked with a move to Manchester United to re-unite with Ruben Amorim. — Sun.
