Arsenal have as many as six strikers on their list of transfer targets at the moment as Mikel Arteta remains keen on strengthening his attack even after thrashing Sporting Lisbon 5-1 in the Champions League this week.
The Gunners put in a memorable performance in the Portuguese capital, with attacking players like Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard all on the score sheet.

Still, Arteta arguably still lacks a proper number 9, and so it’s not too surprising that CaughtOffside have recently been told about a number of players being monitored by Arsenal ahead of upcoming transfer windows.
It’s not easy getting major deals done in January, so some of these names might not realistically be available until the summer, but here’s a list of six striker options that could be targeted by Arsenal in the months ahead…
Alexander Isak
Also a target for Chelsea, it looks like Newcastle United front-man Alexander Isak will be one of the main names to watch on the strikers’ market.
The Sweden international has been a joy to watch during his time at Newcastle, and with his Thierry Henry-esque playing style, he’d surely be a hugely popular addition at the Emirates Stadium.
Still, Newcastle are unsurprisingly not too keen on selling Isak, so it could take big money to get this done, with Arsenal and Chelsea understood to be ready to try offering around £80m for the 25-year-old, but with over £100m expected to be needed.
Benjamin Sesko
First targeted by Arsenal last summer, Benjamin Sesko ended up deciding to stay at RB Leipzig for at least one more year.
However, it’s widely known that Arsenal and other top clubs are still keen on signing the talented 21-year-old next summer, with CaughtOffside told that he’s right behind Isak in the pecking order for both the Gunners and Chelsea.
Sesko could perhaps do well to improve on his current form, though, as he’s scored only six goals all season for Leipzig, and only one in his last nine games.
Bryan Mbeumo
One of the Premier League’s most in-form attacking players so far this season, Bryan Mbeumo’s form for Brentford is understood to have turned a few heads.
