Arsenal transfer news and rumours: Gunners eyeing THREE striker options?


PLUS: Jordan Lukaku, brother of Everton striker Romelu, believes his style of play would suit the Premier League - and has admitted to being an Arsenal fan. Arsenal could move for Batshuayi Arsenal are reportedly considering making a bid for Marseille forward Michy Batshuayi after Danny Welbeck was ruled out for nine months. The Daily Star say Arsenal have been watching the Belgian closely this season and will enquire as to his availability this summer. Batshuayi, 22, has scored 21 times in 48 appearances this season but L'OM endured a torrid campaign as a whole, finishing 13th in the table. Lukaku "a fan of Arsenal" Speaking to The Set Pieces, Lukaku said: “Do I see myself as a Premier League-bound? “I don’t know, but it’s a league that would suit me. I have always been a fan of Arsenal, but I am mad about every Premier League club as long as the club doesn’t have to fight against relegation.” The 21-year-old currently plays for Oostende in the Belgian Pro League. Arsenal could turn to Morata Danny Welbeck's devastating injury blow could force Arsenal to step up their pursuit of a new striker, writes MirrorFootball's John Cross. The England man has undergone surgery on his right knee after suffering a serious cartilage injury in Arsenal’s draw at Manchester City on Sunday. The heartbreaking news comes on top of Welbeck missing 10 months with an injury to his other knee and he had only just returned in February. It will also push the Gunners into the market this summer with Juventus striker Alvaro Morata their top target. Arsenal have also looked at Inter Milan striker Mauro Icardi but if Morata - Real Madrid have a buy-back option which may push through the deal - becomes available then he will be their number one. Gunners eye Guirassy Arsene Wenger is eyeing a move for little-known French striker Sehrou Guirassy, writes MirrorFootball's John Cross. Arsenal boss Wenger has been alerted to the 20-year-old Lille starlet, who has impressed while on loan at French second division club Auxerre. In much the way the Gunners signed Yaya Sanogo from Auxerre three years ago at the same age, Guirassy is seen as one for the future. Sanogo has started just two Premier League games and scored just a single goal for Arsenal, while being sent on loan to Crystal palace, Charlton and Dutch side Ajax.
