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.

The Spaniard said it was part of the development of a player.

Defensive issues have already plagued the Gunners this season with Jurrien Timber, Gabriel, Riccardo Calafiori and Takehiro Tomiyasu all struck down by injury at different times, but Arteta felt a crumb of comfort that the rest of his backline was finally shaking off those problems.

The international break gave the manager a chance to reflect on what has been behind those recent results, and while identifying areas he is looking to improve, the 42-year-old feels Arsenal have not been as bad as two points from their last four matches may suggest.
