Arsenal Must Go All Out For Striker With 17 Goals In 16 Games, Here's Why

"Which part of the squad would you like to strengthen in the new year?". Put this question to any Arsenal fan and the chances are they will reply with up top. The general consensus is that the Gunners need back up to Olivier Giroud, despite Theo Walcott and Nicklas Bendtner able to start as the lone striker, and I would agree. Now with the Daily Mail reporting that suggesting that Arsene Wenger is watching Diego Costa, I would suggest that the Frenchman should be going all out to sign the Atletico Madrid forward. Here's why.

Why Arsenal Must Look To Sign Midfielder With 91% Pass Success On A Free Transfer

Arsene Wenger loves a bargain, we all know that. After years of constructing his Arsenal side from the youth side and with unearthed gems from afar he proved that he can splash the cash as well as he splurted a huge amount on Mesut Ozil. However, if the Frenchman was able to pick up some serious talent on a free then surely he would be interested, no? Well, Arsene, how about Blaise Matuidi, who is out of contract in the summer?

Arsenal And Manchester City Watching Casillas, But How Does He Compare To Szczesny And Hart?

Could This Be The Man To Replace Bacary Sagna At Arsenal?

Describe the perfect right-back and you'd probably come up with something like this - a strong-yet-agile player who is just as comfortable bursting up the flank and whipping a ball into the box as he is sitting back and defending. They must be intelligent in their positioning and have a sense of athleticism, but also be able to dominate in the air. Sound like a dream player?

THREE Reasons Why Arsenal Should Forget About Signing Real Madrid Star

We are quickly approaching the end of the year and with it comes the start of silly season.

7 Goals In 15 Games: Why Arsenal Should Be Looking Into Signing Bundesliga Goal-Getter

Although Theo Walcott came in and played brilliantly for Arsenal this weekend against Manchester City, Olivier Giroud's form has continued to drop as he runs himself into the ground.
