The Everton man could take Arsenal to an entirely different level.
Arsenal’s Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in action
Rumours began to circulate this week regarding the future of Gunners star Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, with the Mirror reporting that Everton are interested in bringing him to Goodison Park.
Whilst most Arsenal fans would be against the idea of the 23-year-old leaving the Emirates, the prospect of bringing in a potentially world class striker in return could help change their minds all together.
And Wenger should use the Toffees’ interest in the Ox as a bargaining tool in the race to sign Romelu Lukaku.
The powerful Belgian is exactly what the Gunners need. Strong with his back to goal, more than able in the air, and deadly when presented with a goalscoring opportunity, Lukaku has the ability to take Arsenal to an entirely new level.
Bringing him to the club would also serve as evidence of the north London outfit’s ambition, and might just be enough to convince the likes of Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil to commit their futures to the club.
The prospect of Lukaku playing in front of the Chilean and German superstars would be a tantalising one for Gunners fans.
Wenger’s men have been criticised continuously for their lack of physicality, and the addition of the 23-year-old hitman could solve that problem in one fell swoop.

But it is not only his physical attributes that would make him such a good signing for Arsenal.
Since his permanent switch to Merseyside from Chelsea in the summer of 2014, the Belgian has scored 62 goals in 120 appearances in all competitions.
And if the Gunners managed to bring him to the Emirates, even if that means losing Oxlade-Chamberlain in the process, they would then surely become genuine title contenders.
