If the Gunners snap up a world-class forward in January, they could well go on to win the Premier League…
These 10 forwards all have the ability to boost Arsenal’s squad, and potentially aide the Gunners’ title push. While Olivier Giroud is a valued member of the side due to his hold up play and work-rate, he has not been scoring the goals lately that Arsene Wenger would expect him to.
As a result, here’s our shortlist of ten strikers Arsenal should target in January…
(Of course, we’re not saying they should sign every one – maybe just one or two!)
Diego Costa – Atletico Madrid
The Brazilian (who’d rather play for Spain) would be an absolutely incredible signing for any club in Europe, and Arsenal are no exception. He’s already bagged 19 goals this season in La Liga, which makes him the joint top scorer in European league football, along with Liverpool’s Luis Suarez. Atletico have a history of selling their star strikers (Fernando Torres, Sergio Aguero, Falcao), and could be tempted with an enormous offer. Costa is proving he’s worth it, and Arsenal should take the risk and make a mammoth bid.
