Mikel Arteta has made it clear he wants to bring in some new faces before the transfer deadline on February 3, with RB Leipzig star Sesko reportedly their top target. But cheaper moves for strikers such as Evan Ferguson or Matheus Cunha cannot be ruled out.

Arsenal could be given a massive opportunity to sign a striker before the January window closes after being told one of their top targets is available for transfer this month.

The Gunners sold Danish forward Biereth to Austrian side Sturm Graz last summer for £4m and inserted a sell-on clause into the deal. Standard Sport understands that sell-on clause was significant and Arsenal are now set to benefit as Biereth closes in on a move to Monaco.
