Arsenal Transfers: 5 Alternatives To Luis Suarez Now He's Unavailable

1. Alvaro Morata

Arsene Wenger has been well aware of the need to bring in an extra striker this winter in order to provide cover should Oliver Giroud sustain injury, and reports suggest he has landed Alvaro Morata on loan from Real Madrid. Morata, who has been serving as an understudy to Karim Benzema at the Bernabeu this season, will apparently be allowed to temporarily leave the club when the transfer window reopens next month. The Gunner's London rivals Tottenham had also been interested, but it appears as though the highly-rated youngster will be an Arsenal player until the end of the season. Of course, nothing is set in stone, and Wenger's side have yet to confirm or deny the speculation, but the addition of the starlet will go a long way to enhancing Arsenal's attacking threat this term, if indeed the rumours prove accurate. Do you think Arsenal need a new striker in January? Who should they sign instead of Luis Suarez? Let us know in the comment section, below.
