Arsenal are reportedly looking at potential transfers of Mykhaylo Mudryk, Youri Tielemans and Danilo and may not rush into signing a new striker.
The Gunners are facing a mini crisis at the moment as Jesus could be out for a few months due to an injury picked up with Brazil at the World Cup, and there’ll surely be many fans who want the club to move for a new signing up front this winter.
However, a report from Goal points out that this isn’t really the Arsenal way, with the north London giants neglecting to panic buy when they lost Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang last January.
Arsenal instead waited until the summer to sign Jesus from Manchester City, and it could be that they’ll adopt a similar approach now and stick to the players like Mudryk, Tielemans and Danilo, who were part of their long-term plans anyway.
Arsenal could do well to bring in Mudryk in particular, as he can provide a goal threat and breathe new life into Mikel Arteta’s attack, even if he’s not an out-and-out striker.
The Ukraine international has looked hugely impressive this season and it could be that his arrival would free up Gabriel Martinelli to move into a central role until Jesus returns.
