A lot has been said about Arsenal's hunt for a striker this summer, and while some of the names being linked are encouraging, there's also an opportunity to add a top-quality winger that will complete a new look frontline. With Nicolas Pepe's future up in the air, it's believed Mikel Arteta could be on the lookout for a new wide-man who offers as much threat in front of goal as they do on the flanks.
PSV Eindhoven's Cody Gakpo and Manchester City's Gabriel Jesus are notable examples of players who can comfortably operate on the wing or as centre forwards, which seems to be one of the reasons behind their links to the Gunners. Arteta loves to have players who possess versatility, individuals that can adapt to different areas from their main position.
Arsenal have already lost guaranteed goals in the squad following the exit of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, so the expected departures of Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah only reiterate the need for added firepower ahead of next season. The aforementioned Gakpo and Jesus along with AS Roma's Tammy Abraham are among those to have been shortlisted by technical director Edu, football.london understands.
