Arsenal: 10 Players Wenger Must Sign In January

7. Stevan Jovetic

Club: Fiorentina Position: Striker/Winger Value: £25m After scoring 14 goals in 27 Serie A appearances last term, Jovetic quickly became one of the hottest properties in Italy, and at just 22 years of age andwith his ability improving every season, he could be the answer to Arsenal's need for a striker. Yes, Wenger replaced Van Persie with two strikers in the summer, in the shape of Olivier Giroud and Lukas Podolski, but with the former yet to show the kind of form that made him the toast of France last year, and the other available options painfully limited, Wenger still needs to strengthen with someone who could score him the goals to mount some sort of challenge. With an alleged £25m release clause in his Fiorentina contract, the Montenegrin would hardly come cheap, but he is exactly the sort of mobile second striker that Arsenal need to combine with Podolski - in the same manner that Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp worked together.
