Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has astonishingly revealed he might not sign another striker before next Monday's transfer deadline, despite the fact a potentially-long-term injury to Oliver Giroud has left him with just Joel Campbell and Chuba Akpom up front ahead of Sunday's Premier League clash with Leicester City. Giroud is facing a possible three months in the treatment room amid fears he has broken his ankle, while Yaya Sanogo is struggling with a hamstring injury and Lukas Podolski lacks match fitness. It's a grim situation for Wenger and he surely must backtrack on his claims and sign another striker before the transfer window crashes shut. He may have Alexis Sanchez at his disposal, who is capable of playing as a forward, however he has been mostly used in wide areas since his arrival from Barcelona and the Gunners need an out-and-out goal scorer in the wake of their injury pileup. Wenger's side have hardly been firing on all cylinders as it is this season after squeezing past Crystal Palace and drawing with Besitkas and Everton, and things could get worse should Giroud's injury prove long-term. So we've had a look at six potential striking targets who could each come in and solve Wenger's dilemma, with a Manchester United misfit and a big-money marquee name making our list.
