Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta could deploy midfielder Mikel Merino as a striker following a hamstring injury for Kai Havertz.
The Gunners suffered a huge setback earlier this week with Havertz picking up a hamstring injury. He has been ruled out for the rest of the campaign.
As a result, the Gunners are without a specialist striker, considering Gabriel Jesus has been sidelined for the season too with a knee ligament issue.
Leandro Trossard has played as the false number nine in the past, but AFC Amden claims that the Gunners have plans to play Merino up front.
The Spaniard has had a mixed debut campaign with the Gunners, but he has been among the goals against the likes of Liverpool and Brentford.
The Euro 2024 winner possesses a strong aerial presence and Arsenal could look to utilise his strength to their advantage in the coming weeks.
Arsenal face Leicester City at the King Power Stadium in their next league game on Saturday. It is a must-win to stay alive in the title pursuit.
