Arsenal 'draw up 10-man striker shortlist'

Arsenal are allegedly assessing the capabilities of 10 different strikers ahead of the summer transfer window.

The Gunners are currently the top goalscorers in the Premier League, netting 70 times in 28 matches and five more than anyone else in the division.

However, rather than a bulk of those goals coming from a recognised centre-forward, they have been shared around the squad, with Bukayo Saka (13) the only player to reach double figures.

Players such as Gabriel Jesus (4), Kai Havertz (8), Eddie Nketiah (5) and Leandro Trossard (7) — all of whom have featured down the middle of the attack at some stage — have not shown the consistency required to retain that role.

As such, Mikel Arteta has already hinted that he is in the market for a new striker, regardless of whether Arsenal are able to end their long wait to win another top-flight crown.

According to football.london, Sporting Lisbon star Viktor Gyokeres is one of the names who feature at the top of the shortlist.

The former Coventry City man has already contributed 36 goals and 14 assists from 39 appearances this campaign, the expectation now being that Sporting will receive an array of offers in the summer.

Brentford's Ivan Toney allegedly remains on their radar, despite the possibility of costing more than Gyokeres, the same applying to Napoli's Victor Osimhen who is expected to depart Naples at the end of the season.

Another name said to have been mentioned is Feyenoord's Santiago Gimenez, the Mexico international having scored 21 times in 25 Eredivisie starts this campaign.

Brian Brobbey has impressed in a struggling Ajax side, chipping in with 16 goals and seven assists from 25 outings, while Arsenal sporting director Edu is also taking notice of players in
