Arsenal they established inter-club contact regarding the signing of a striker for a coach Mikel Artetawhile the Gunners are looking to potentially capitalize on the player’s talks over new contract terms hitting a wall.

Arsenal are open to signing a new striker in January along with a winger

Much of the buzz ahead of the inevitable January transfer window has centered around the signing of a new winger to replace Bukaya Saka, who has been sidelined for more than two months following hamstring surgery.

The likes of Barcelona star Dani Olmo and PSG’s Randal Kolo Muani have been repeatedly linked in the build-up to next month as Saka alternatives, but credible media sources have refused to rule out Arsenal also bringing in a new number nine.

Athletic claims that Arsenal are open to the possibility of bringing in a centre-forward this wintereven if they are aware that a fruitful option will be valued in what is historically a tricky time to navigate.

There are suggestions that Arsenal are monitoring Victor Osimhen’s situationas his loan deal at Galatasaray includes a rumored break clause which would allow certain interested parties to swoop in mid-season and shorten his stay in Turkey.

Gabriel Jesus recently hit a serious purple patch of form in two games against Crystal Palace, scoring five goals against the Eagles in a week, with Kai Havertz proving reliable in a makeshift centre-forward role.

However, it remains to be seen whether their current options will be sustainable long-term, and Arsenal have been tipped to bring in a proven goalscorer for some time now.

Arsenal tried to offer Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig in the summer, but the Slovenian rejected their advances in favor of staying in the Bundesliga, at least for one more season.

The north Londoners could return for Sesko in 2025, as he is believed to have a “gentleman’s agreement” to leave Leipzig next year or in 2026.

However, Sesko is not the only Bundesliga striker on their radar.

According to CaughtOffside, Eintracht Frankfurt star Omar Marmoush is attracting the interest of N5. The Egyptian sensation is currently enjoying a phenomenal 24/25 campaign with 18 goals and 12 assists in all competitions. Arsenal have made contact with Eintracht about signing Marmoushmoving ahead of others Premier League parties in the race for his signature, because they want to pounce on his uncertain contract situation.

The 25-year-old is understood to be unhappy with recent negotiations over a new contract, putting a host of clubs on red alert, including Arsenal, who could take advantage.

It is not clear if his departure could happen in January, but the price for Marmoush is rumored to be around 50 million pounds.
