Arsenal suffered another blank on Sunday evening as they lost 2-0 away at rivals Tottenham Hotspur.

The Gunners have now scored just two goals in their last seven Premier League games, and they were a penalty and a header from set piece.

Mikel Arteta’s men are desperately lacking creativity right now, and Arsenal need to think about signing an attacking midfielder in January.

The Daily Mail recently noted that Arsenal are keen on Lille ace Yusuf Yazici, who has long been linked with the Gunners.

His agent then told BeSoccer that interest from Arsenal is ‘really and honour’, but urged Yazici to stay humble.

The 23-year-old scored yet again on Sunday, bagging what proved to be the winning goal against Monaco as Arsenal faltered again.

Yazici’s form has been sensational this season; he has scored two Europa League hat-tricks this term, as well as adding four goals and two assists in Ligue 1.

The Turkish ace can play either as a number 10 or in from the right flank, as he possesses a superb left foot to both create and score from range.

He isn’t the quickest playmaker of all time, but he has real quality on the ball and from set pieces, whilst he still has huge potential – something Arsenal are looking for as they build for the long-term.

His latest goal surely didn’t go unnoticed by Arsenal as they seek goals and creativity, and he should certainly be on the radar for January having showing superb form in France.
