Arsenal have now made contact over the signing of a "composed" striker who's scored 20 league goals already this season
, according to a report.
Gunners searching for a striker
Mikel Arteta opted to risk waiting until the end of the season before bringing in a new striker rather than making a move in the January transfer window, which could well prove to be the wrong decision, with Kai Havertz being ruled out for the rest of the campaign.
With Gabriel Jesus also sidelined, Leandro Trossard was given the nod to spearhead the Gunners' attack in Saturday's 2-0 victory at Leicester City, and the Belgian assisted Mikel Merino's second goal from out wide, but it remains to be seen whether the lack of an out-and-out striker will be an issue against stronger opposition.
Regardless of how Trossard performs, it seems likely that the Gunners will bring in a new striker this summer, having identified a number of targets, including RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko and Atalanta's Mateo Retegui.
