Arsenal aims to acquire a ‘incredible’ striker in conjunction with Vlahovic during the January transfer window.

Arsenal is seeking to acquire a “incredible” striker to complement Dusan Vlahovic during the January transfer window.

Manager Mikel Arteta is expected to implore his recruitment team to diligently pursue a new forward following the recent long-term injury sustained by Gabriel Jesus over the weekend. One potential candidate is Elye Wahi, whose playing time has diminished despite his significant transfer to Marseille during the summer.

The North London club has experienced a suboptimal season in terms of goal production from their forwards, with Kai Havertz having netted only seven goals and Gabriel Jesus contributing a mere three in the Premier League. With the former Manchester City star now absent from the team, Arteta is seeking a new talisman, with Wahi reportedly being a potential candidate.

Report: Elye Wahi ‘Under Consideration by Arsenal’ in Anticipation of Transfer The report from CaughtOffside indicates that, in addition to Juventus forward Dusan Vlahovic, the recruitment team of the Gunners is also evaluating Wahi. The 22-year-old is regarded as a viable alternative should the acquisition of the Serbian player prove to be excessively challenging or

Wa hi, who has attracted the attention of West Ham United, is available for loan following the injury of Niclas Fullkrug, who is expected to be sidelined until at least mid-April due to a hamstring injury sustained during their FA Cup defeat to Aston Villa on Friday. Wahi has experienced limited playing time this season under the management of Roberto de Zerbi at Marseille.

Nevertheless, the Ligue 1 club intends to incorporate a ‘obligation to purchase’ clause in any prospective agreement concerning the ‘extraordinary’ talent.It is probable that Jesus will be sidelined for the remainder of the season following his suspected ACL injury sustained during the match against Manchester United on Sunday.

Furthermore, Havertz’s failure to convert numerous opportunities later in the game highlights a deficiency in decisive finishing at the Emirates Stadium. Wahi may potentially serve as a solution to this issue, despite ongoing speculation regarding a transfer for Vlahovic that emerged as early as Tuesday morning.

The Mediterranean club has acquired Wahi from Lens; however, despite his impressive track record of 41 goals in merely 112 appearances in the French top division, he has participated in only 14 matches for Marseille, netting three goals. Consequently, De Zerbi prefers to utilise Mason Greenwood and Luis Henrique as the primary forwards.
