Arsenal have reportedly made enquiries with a staggering 10 attackers who could provide competition for the likes of Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli.
The Gunners are believed to be looking for a wide player to bring in before the conclusion of the transfer window later this week.

The north Londoners look poised to complete the signing of Mikel Merino from Real Sociedad in the coming days, and are believed to want to supplement his arrival with that of a winger.
Athletic Club's Nico Williams is said to be Arsenal's top target in this regard, with the English giants having been linked with the Spaniard for the entirety of this off-season.
It is rumoured that Arsenal will try once again to convince the 22-year-old to make the move to the Emirates Stadium in the last days of the window, but it is understood that he may prefer to stay in Spain with a view to securing a move to Barcelona in the future.
As a consequence of the likelihood of Williams staying at the San Mames, The Independent reports that Mikel Arteta's side has sent out enquiries to as many as 10 wide players who could provide strength in depth.
In January 2023, the 13-time English champions landed Leandro Trossard's services from Brighton Hove Albion, and the club are looking to make a similar purchase if Williams is unattainable, that being a low-budget, but impactful star who is willing to come off the bench more often than not.
