Arsenal’s hunt for a new striker is heating up as the January transfer window edges closer to its deadline.
Fabrizio Romano drops big update on Arsenal’s hunt for a new striker
Renowned transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has revealed that the Gunners have been actively reaching out to clubs across Europe in search of a replacement for Gabriel Jesus, whose season-ending injury has left a significant void in Mikel Arteta’s attack.
With the Premier League title race intensifying, Arsenal are determined to bolster their attacking options before the transfer window slams shut on February 3.
Speaking about the club’s efforts, Romano shared that Arsenal have intensified their search over the past 48 hours.
“Arsenal are working on the striker position,” Romano said.
“Mikel Arteta has already confirmed that the club is focused on bringing in a new addition.
In the last 24-48 hours, Arsenal have made several calls to enquire about the availability of key players across Europe. It’s work in progress.”
While Arteta is keen to secure reinforcements, the nature of the deal—whether a permanent signing or a temporary solution—remains uncertain.
Financial constraints and the unavailability of priority targets could complicate matters, leaving Arsenal to explore creative options to strengthen their front line.
Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic and RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko are among the names linked with a move to the Emirates.
However, landing these high-profile players in January may prove challenging. Sesko, for instance, recently committed to a long-term deal with Leipzig, while Vlahovic’s hefty price tag could deter Arsenal’s pursuit.
Despite the challenges, Arsenal’s urgency is understandable. Currently sitting second in the Premier League, they face a demanding schedule, with Aston Villa next in line on Saturday, followed by a return to Champions League action against Dinamo Zagreb.
The Gunners’ proactive approach underlines their ambition to maintain their momentum and challenge for silverware on multiple fronts.
As the clock ticks down, Arsenal fans will be hoping for a last-minute coup to bolster their squad and keep their dreams alive.
