Arsenal suffered the typically bruising defeat to Chelsea yesterday.
Many will point to the dismissals as pivotal but the fact remains that the club still needs to strengthen its spine.
Reports today suggest that Arsene Wenger is planning a move for two brilliant young strikers.
The People states:
Chelsea and Arsenal are leading the chase for Senegal international striker Moussa Konate
The 22 year old Senegal international has already made serious waves for his national team as he has hit 5 goals in 10 games since his debut in 2012.
And the added bonus with this guy is that, as with many modern forwards, he can play anywhere along the front line with his pace able to trouble full backs and his finishing ability also making him fully able to play up top.
Arsenal will need to be decisive to keep him out of the clutches of Chelsea.
Meanwhile The Star says:
Arsenal plot January swoop for Belgium international striker
ARSENAL are keeping a check on Marseille’s Belgium striker Michy Batshuayi as a potential January buy.
This guy has been linked to a move for a while and Arsenal are one more said to be keen.
The pacy Belgian made his debut for the national team this year and scored on his first appearance. He is the latest of a long line in talented Belgians, with great technique, to come from this golden era for the nation in football terms.
He moved to Marseille last summer, where he has scored 12 goals in 31 games – not bad at all for a player who is still only 21.
Let’s take a look at him in action.
Arsenal fans: good enough?
