Arsenal could be in the market for a new striker this summer given question marks over the futures of both Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah.
The duo are out of contract in 2022, and Arsenal may seize this chance to cash in and sell them this summer before they walk away.
The Telegraph now claim that Arsenal already have their eyes on a potential new striker signing, as Celtic’s Odsonne Edouard is wanted.
It’s claimed that Arsenal hope to convince Edouard to join them instead of Leicester City, who currently lead the race for his signature.
Edouard, 23, has hit 20 goals in all competitions last season, whilst his record last term was simply sensational; 28 goals and 19 assists in 47 games.
The Frenchman would allegedly cost around £15million and £20million, meaning Arsenal could easily fund a move by selling either Lacazette or Nketiah.
Arsenal fans have been taking to Twitter to react to the latest rumours, and believe that a deal would be ‘silly’ and a ‘waste of money’ given their other striking options.
Some believe that Folarin Balogun should be Arsenal’s focus in attack, not another addition like Edouard, and think the funds should be put into other areas instead.
