The Gunners are understood to be on the hunt for an elite-level striker signing at some stage in 2024. A new addition in January would bolster Arsenal’s title chances and with Manchester City and Liverpool both dropping points at the weekend, it’s Arsenal who currently top the table.

Gabriel Jesus is Mikel Arteta’s go-to man to lead the line. The Brazilian scored in the 2-0 victory over Brighton, though the goal was just his third in 12 EPL appearances this season.

Jesus brings far more than just goals to Arteta’s side, with his defensive work out of possession vital to Arsenal’s cause.

But if the Gunners are to lift their first Premier League title since 2004, a more potent frontman who’s capable of breaching the 20-goal barrier may be required.

Financial Fair Play constraints make a January move difficult. Indeed, the Gunners have little to spend next month unless bolstering their kitty through player sales.
