Arsenal transfers: Six realistic alternatives to Gonzalo Higuain for the Gunners

3. Edin Dzeko

The Bosnian is not the most aesthetically pleasing player in the Premier League, which may put off purist Arsene Wenger, but Dzeko is proven goal-scorer who can lead the line alone or play in tandem with a partner. Thirty league goals in two-and-a-half seasons should not be sniffed, particularly considering the 27-year-old has never been a regular started for City. The arrival of Stevan Jovetic and Alvaro Negredo at Eastlands should mean the Premier League runners-up listen to decent offers for Dzeko.
