The eight forwards on Arsenal’s radar ahead of January as Arteta desperately pushes for an attacker | OneFootball

There are eight forwards on Arsenal’s radar as they desperately try to bolster their attacking options in January, according to the Daily Mail.

Manager Mikel Arteta is looking to sign a forward following a long-term injury to Bukayo Saka, and Paris Saint-Germain forward Randal Kolo Muani has been offered to them.

Athletic Bilbao forward Nico Williams remains a long-term target. However, while his £50 million release clause is within their budget, he is unlikely to leave the La Liga club in the coming weeks.

Arsenal are also keen on Bayern Munich attacker Leroy Sane, but he is playing frequently at the Bundesliga club and a return to England may not appeal to him.

Real Madrid teenage forward Arda Guler is also of interest to the Gunners, but the Spanish club see him as a future star and will not entertain offers for him right now.

Bayer Leverkusen attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz is another option for Arsenal, but they will face fierce competition from Bayern, Madrid and Manchester City if he decides to move.

Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak, Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Matheus Cunha and Brentford striker Bryan Mbeumo are also on the radar of the Emirates Stadium club.

However, the trio have proven important to their respective clubs this term, and signing them in January could prove very tricky.

RB Leipzig Benjamin Sesko is an Arsenal target, but a move during the upcoming transfer window is not feasible. A summer deal will have to come with a guarantee of regular playing opportunities.

Despite giving serious consideration towards joining the Gunners last summer, the Slovenian was reluctant to complete the move amid concerns he would be second-choice to Kai Havertz.

Arsenal made it clear that Sesko would not be guaranteed to play ahead of the Germany international, and he opted to sign a new contract with the Bundesliga club.

The Gunners could do with his quality heading into the second half of the season, but they will have to look elsewhere, as signing him or the other seven targets could be impossible.
