Arsenal's pursuit of Atletico Madrid forward Joao Felix, whilst exciting, does raise the question of where he would fit into Mikel Arteta's tactical plan should a loan move be completed in the January transfer window.
With Gabriel Jesus - and to a lesser extent Reiss Nelson - out injured and Emile Smith Rowe guaranteed to be short of match sharpness when he does make his return to action after over four months on the sidelines, the Gunners are making moves to bolster their attacking options.
The priority target is Mykhaylo Mudryk. And after seeing their opening offer - which was believed to be in the region of £55m including add-ons - rejected, negotiations with Shakhtar Donetsk will continue and it remains to be seen if the Ukrainian outfit will budge on their asking price of around £100m.
