The Gunners’ squad has taken a major hit in recent weeks with a couple of important injuries.
Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus, and Ethan Nwaneri are all currently sidelined.
As a result, Arteta is hoping to add a new forward in the winter window.
It was gathered that Arsenal are no longer reluctant to pay Gyokeres’ £83million release clause.

The Sporting striker has netted 32 goals in 30 games across all competitions.
The report also claims Arteta is also interested in Alexander Isak and Jonathan David, but neither Newcastle United nor Lille are willing to sell this month.
However, Gyokeres’ situation is different due to his release clause.
The 26-year-old has already admitted he wants to play for one of the best teams in Europe soon.
