With Radamel Falcao joining Man Utd, which strikers could Arsenal sign instead on deadline day?

They say better late than never and Manchester United have left it very late indeed to complete arguably THE signing of the summer. United have agreed to sign Monaco forward Radamel Falcao on a season-long loan which will undoubtedly appease suffering Reds fans following their nightmare start to the season. One set of supporters who will not be happy however are Arsenal's. The Gunners too were interested in signing Falcao and are in the market for a new striker following the news that Oliver Giroud will be out until the New Year with a broken leg. With just a little over seven hours to go until the transfer window slams shut at the time of writing, Arsene Wenger could certainly do to sign a forward.

Wenger's men have been held to two successive draws in their last three league games and could certainly benefit from a new attacking addition to get them over the line. Wenger said this morning that his side "are active" in the transfer market and that he is "working hard to find a solution" to his current striking conundrum. With that in mind, here we take a look at 5 Last Minute Alternatives To Radamel Falcao. Click 'next' to get started.
