Arsenal are in the market for a new striker after their struggles in front of goal and Gabriel Jesus' long-term injury.

The Gunners have been poor in front of goal recently, with Mikel Arteta's side losing crucial matches in the Carabao Cup and FA Cup.

They tasted defeats against Newcastle United and Manchester United in those competitions.

They still have the second leg of the Carabao Cup but were knocked out of the FA Cup in the early stages.

Arteta is keen to add firepower to his attack this month and it remains to be seen which striker he will target.

They have been linked with RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sisko and Newcastle United's Alexander Isak
And Dusan Vlahovic, Juventus player.

Journalist David Ornstein has now provided the latest update on what the Gunners could do with regards to their transfer business this month.

talking on Back pages Ornstein said on the podcast:

“They have been linked with Dusan Vlahovic. My latest information is that it doesn't look like Arsenal will follow suit, but let's see how things go in the next couple of weeks with a number of options that I'm sure they will have.

“They like Benjamin Sisco historically, but I don't expect him to move in this window.

“The real apple of their eye is Alexander Isak, certainly for Mikel Arteta. But we know how difficult that is, if it is possible at all.”

Alexander Isak would be a dream signing for Arsenal

Swedish international striker Which could cost the Gunners 200 million poundsThe team is performing well this season, scoring 15 goals in the league in only 19 matches.

The Newcastle striker won the Premier League Player of the Month award for December after beating Liverpool's Mohamed Salah to the award.

As much as Arteta admires him, signing him would be almost impossible. They would have to break the Premier League transfer record to sign him, and Newcastle are in a stronger position with the player on a long-term contract at St James' Park.
