Arsenal could have four targets before deadline day after missing out on Dusan Vlahovic

ARSENAL have been in the hunt for a striker for the entire winter transfer window.

Arteta gives update on Arsenal's transfer plans ahead of Deadline Day

Dusan Vlahovic's imminent move to Juventus means that Arsenal have once again been left out to dry in the transfer market, desperate for a forward to fire them to Champions League qualification. Many have been linked, yet none have come to fruition - and with reports that Eddie Nketiah could be on his way out of the club in the coming days, manager Mikel Arteta will be aiming to sign a striker to give his side hope. Express Sport takes a look at four potential options.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin

Calvert-Lewin has been a peripheral figure in the Premier League this season having picked up an injury at the end of August.

He made his return against Brighton earlier this month but has failed to score since his return to the Goodison Park fore.

A move has been touted for the in-demand Englishman, with Everton reportedly unlikely to accept less than £60million.

But Arsenal's willingness to pay a similar fee for Vlahovic means a deal for the Sheffield-born striker could be sanctioned.

Jonathan David

David has been a revelation since joining Lille in 2020.

The Canadian star scored 13 goals in 37 league games for Les Dogues in his debut season and took home the Ligue Un title as a result.

He has gone from strength to strength this season, scoring 12 in just 22 games to cement his place as one of Europe's most exciting young talents.

And his versatility to play anywhere across the front three could mean Arsenal prioritise a bid for him over any other striker target.

Alexander Isak

Swedish star Isak joined Real Sociedad in 2019-20 from Borussia Dortmund and immediately hit the ground running in northern Spain.

Having scored 16 goals in 45 games in his first season, the star then announced himself to big clubs across the continent with 17 league goals in just 34 games.

Having garnered the interest of Arsenal previously, he was put to the side in order to pursue a move for Vlahovic.

But with the Serbian striker now departing for Turin, a move for Isak may be revisited.

Paulo Dybala

Dybala has split opinion in the last couple of years in Turin.

Having signed as a 21-year-old after excelling at Palermo, Dybala quickly established himself as one of Europe's most coveted strikers.

Scoring 52 league goals in just 98 games, many clubs around the world would have taken him.

But he has failed to flatter since, scoring just 27 in a four year period. With his Juventus future looking uncertain, there is a possibility an opportunity could present itself for Arsenal.
