Arsenal Transfers: 10 Strikers Arsene Wenger Must Sign Before Window Shuts
5. Mario Mandzukic
Mario Mandzukic might feel like a travel agent at the minute, what with all the moving around Europe he’s been doing. Since 2012, he’s club-hopped three times, spanning three countries, and looks to be on the move yet again.
Despite only having penned a four-year deal at Juventus last summer, the former Atletico Madrid striker seems to have taken news of Gonzalo Higuain’s arrival badly - or at least it would appear so given that he has suddenly become linked with a host of clubs.
Barcelona and Wolfsburg are just some of the sides meant to be keeping tabs on the Croatian international, who bagged 13 goals last season. Arsenal should enter the market for his signature, however. The 30-year-old is not the world-class superstar that Gunners’ fans would have been hoping for but he has a proven track record and knows where the goal is.
At the very least, he would provide healthy competition for Olivier Giroud, unburdening him until Danny Welbeck returns from injury.
