Five strikers Arsenal could turn to if they miss out on Mario Balotelli

2. Mario Mandzukic

Croatian striker Mario Mandzukic has confirmed his desire to leave Bayern Munich, which could open the door for a potential move to the Emirates Stadium. Disillusioned with life under Pep Guardiola, particularly after he was left out of the squad for the German Cup final, Mandzukic is available, but the £25 million fee that Bayern are likely to demand coupled with the similarities that exist between Mandzukic and Olivier Giroud may make the move unlikely.
