Neither forward has managed to assert themselves on the Gunners first team this season with Wenger having a number of options in attack currently.
Olivier Giroud, Alexis Sanchez, Yaya Sanogo and Danny Welbeck are all available to the Frenchman and he is keen to focus on improving the defence instead.
