Since Gabriel Jesus sustained medial ligament damage at the World Cup with Brazil, Arsenal have been linked with a host of strikers. The Gunners are expected to ponder the prospect of pursuing a short-term fix for the second half of the season ahead of their Premier League title race with Manchester City.
Any slim worries, internally and externally, were dismissed in Arsenal's first game back from the World Cup when Eddie Nketiah scored his first league goal of the season against West Ham. The 23-year-old has been Jesus' understudy so far this season and has been handed an opportunity to impress by Mikel Arteta.
However, there has been talk that the Gunners must recruit another No. 9 should they have a chance of competing with Manchester City for the title. Pep Guardiola's men are looking to make it five title wins in six seasons and possess one of the best strikers in the game in Erling Haaland - who has scored 18 league goals in 13 games this season.
