After a disappointing 4-1 defeat in Sunday's Manchester Derby reports have emerged suggesting that Marcus Rashford is considering his future at Manchester United.
The England international was on the bench at the Etihad despite the fact that fellow strikers Cristiano Ronaldo and Edinson Cavani were not in the squad and is understood to be unhappy about the game time he is getting at Old Trafford.
As he looks at potential suitors, one of the first names that springs to mind is Arsenal. Mikel Arteta's side are expected to be in the market for a striker come the summer with Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah set to leave the Emirates, and Rashford may just be the man for the job.
But should the Gunners sign him?
It's a decision that has been dividing supporters around the globe on social media, with many arguing in favour, and plenty of others against.
Here football.london's Arsenal writers Kaya Kaynak, Chris Wheatley and Tashan Deniran-Alleyne pick what they think Edu should look to do.

A goal threat, a leader, soon to hit his prime and would improve the squad. Marcus Rashford ticks many boxes for me as a potential Arsenal signing.
But only on the condition that he wouldn’t be the only new forward addition this summer.
With Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah expected to leave this summer, Mikel Arteta and Edu are going to have to sign at least two new forwards to replace them especially if Folarin Balogun isn't ready for more first-team involvement next season.
Amid links to Alexander Isak and Dominic Calvert-Lewin it's clear that an out-and-out number nine is at the top of Arsenal's list. That doesn't exactly describe Rashford to a tee, but his versatility would make him an interesting option to pursue.
Signing Rashford allows Arteta and Edu to press ahead with plans to bring in a focal point up front and bolster the attacking department at the same time.
While he can operate through the middle, I do think Rashford does his best work out wide - mainly from the left - making those runs from outside to in and most importantly he would make the Gunners even more of a threat going forward if he can work on his decision making.
At Man United, his development has stalled over the past couple of seasons and is certainly lacking the confidence that saw him burst onto the scene - against the Gunners - all those years ago, but he may just need a change of environment to get his career back on track. If Marcus Rashford is considering his future at Manchester United then Arsenal should be watching developments closely.

Chris Wheatley - Chief Arsenal correspondent
My answer to whether Arsenal should sign Marcus Rashford is a resounding NO!
The England international has several skills that he can bring to the table, and having scored 20+ goals in his two seasons prior to this one, he's shown that he can add the increased efficiency in the box Mikel Arteta is looking for.
But you have to ask, is that gain worth the undoubted costs that would come with it?
Arsenal have a group of youngsters who are the best in the country if not the world right now, with Bukayo Saka, Emile Smith Rowe and Gabriel Martinelli all in the Premier League's top five for most goal contributions by players under the age of 21 this season.
Those names are before you even mention Flo Balogun, who has looked really impressive at points during his loan spell at Middlesbrough, while 18-year-old winger Omari Hutchinson has 12 goal involvements in 16 Premier League 2 games this campaign.
Bringing in anyone who puts the development of that group of Hale Enders at risk has to be worth it.
For me, as a player down on confidence and unable to get in this dysfunctioning Manchester United attack even when Edinson Cavani and Cristiano Ronaldo are injured, Rashford would not merit the risk.
Also looking at the situation of Saka specifically, Arteta said on Sunday that he wants to give him the space to develop. Bringing in Rashford would be a betrayal of this as the 24-year-old may take up his position.
As Arsenal look to secure the Hale Ender's contract extension this summer, providing a potential barrier to first team minutes, would surely not be the way to go about doing this.

Kaya Kaynak - Arsenal writer
I'm genuinely not sure on this one.
I see Chris' point about blocking the pathway for youngsters and Tash's point about versatility and they both make sense to me.
The way I'm inclined to look at it is in terms of tactical options and depth.
Mikel Arteta has previously stated that he wants high quality options in each position that can provide different skillsets depending on the requirements of each game.
As a result, if Arsenal are able to hold on to Alexandre Lacazette beyond the end of this season, then I think Marcus Rashford would be the perfect dovetail to that.
The competition between the pair would be fierce, while neither would necessarily demand a starting spot, meaning that the squad morale that Arteta has been able to cultivate most recently can be preserved.
Lacazette would offer his ability to drop deep to link play and a more obvious focal point to attack in the middle, while Rashford - whose skillset is remarkably similar to the Gunners' January centre forward target Alexander Isak - could provide more dribbling ability and a threat in behind.
Rashford also appears to have the strength of character that Arteta values highly, and would contribute to the English core that Arteta is building at the Emirates with the likes of Aaron Ramsdale, Ben White, Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe.
This would see me leaning towards yes, but then just before I'm willing to take the plunge I'm hauled back by how much the 24-year-old would cost.
He currently has one year remaining on his contract at Old Trafford, but reports have suggested that United retain the option to extend this by a further 12 months.
His value on transfermarkt is £76.5 million, and it's difficult to see the Red Devils accepting much less than that in the summer, even if the player does want to leave.
As a result I'm stuck in between. If Lacazette can stay and Arsenal can get him for the right price, then it's a deal I would definitely do. Those are two big ifs though, and even though it's a bit of a cop out, I'm going to place myself firmly on the fence with this one.
Kaynak's verdict on whether Arsenal should sign Rashford: ON THE FENCE
