Arsenal are still searching for a striker as the end of the transfer window draws closer, and they have a new target in mind after focusing on two superstars.
The Gunners are keen to sign Paris Saint-Germain striker Ezequiel Lavezzi to a £95,000-per-week deal, according to The Clock End.
Arsenal have already gone after Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema and fellow PSG striker Edinson Cavani.
They are both valued at £40m or higher, while Lavezzi could cost just £8.5m.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has been keen to upgrade his scoring attack, which lacks a consistent option outside of forward Alexis Sanchez.
The Gunners have already made a relatively significant signing elsewhere, in goalkeeper Petr Cech.
However, they are hoping to make an upgrade over the inconsistent duo of Olivier Giroud and Theo Walcott.
Lavezzi has been a consistent force for his past three seasons with PSG.
He has scored at least nine goals in each of them while reaching double digits in his first two seasons with the French Ligue 1 champions.
