The transfer window has closed and you would have had to have been living under a rock not to notice that Arsenal didn't sign a striker.
The reasoning behind this certainly wasn't that they didn't need one. With Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's departure to Barcelona the Gunners' main centre forward options are now Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah who, between them, have just three Premier League goals this season.
Instead it seems that Edu was not confident that value for money was out there in what is always a very complicated January market.
