Arsenal could enter the free transfer market for a new striker this month after the injury blow for Kai Havertz.
The Germany international picked up a hamstring issue during the Dubai training camp and he has been ruled out for the rest of the campaign.
His absence has left the Gunners without a specialist striker, given Gabriel Jesus is likewise out for the season with a serious knee ligament injury.
Arsenal are now likely to play Leandro Trossard in the false number nine role. Raheem Sterling and Ethan Nwaneri could be deployed from the no.9 position too.
Despite this, manager Mikel Arteta may want some depth in the department and the club's board could pursue a free-agent in the near future.
Diego Costa and Mario Balotelli are among free-agents with previous Premier League success behind them.
Former Arsenal academy graduate Carlos Vela is another option for the north London giants, though he has barely played for 12 months.
