Arsenal have reportedly identified a striker they hope to sign in the summer transfer window to help fill the void should Alexandre Lacazette leave the club.
The French forward's current contract at the Emirates is set to expire at the end of the season, with the player yet to commit his future to the Gunners. It means Arteta's side may need to bring in more firepower up front, with Eddie Nketiah's contract also set to run down and the club yet to replace former captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang following his move to Barcelona in January.
It comes as Arsenal boss Arteta has admitted he would ideally like to keep hold of Lacazette beyond the summer as the Gunners manager spoke out about the forward's future. And former England international Danny Mills has told Arsenal's players they may have to ignore Mikel Arteta's tactics in order to address their recent slump in form.
