Arsenal have added Elye Wahi to their list of striker targets this month as Mikel Arteta eyes a replacement for the injured Gabriel Jesus.
According to Caught Offside, Arsenal are interested in exploring a move for Elye Wahi, with West Ham also keen on the striker. The Gunners have been forced into the market following the season-ending injury to Gabriel Jesus, as the 22-year-old Ligue 1 striker is seen as one of the candidates to come in this month.
Many pundits and fans have been calling on Arsenal to sign a striker for over a year. Mikel Arteta’s side has lacked the potent goalscorer like an Erling Haaland, as they have come closer than ever to winning the Premier League.
Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus have shared the position for a considerable period, although the latter’s season-ending injury has forced Arsenal into the market for a new striker signing. If there were any doubts about Mikel Arteta about whether he would bring a new forward this month, the Brazilian’s injury might have quashed those, as the Gunners are in the market for one.
Dusan Vlahovic remains a player of interest and has been on their radar for more than two years now. However, there are big difficulties in convincing Juventus to let him leave, and he will be expensive in any case.
Arsenal are also looking at Marseille’s Elye Wahi as a potential option to come into their team this month. West Ham are also chasing the 22-year-old Ligue 1 striker following their shortcomings in the final third as Niclas Fullkrug has suffered a fresh problem, while Michail Antonio will remain sidelined for the foreseeable future.
Will Arsenal sign Elye Wahi?
Wahi joined Marseille in the summer after a protracted chase from the French side, who initially wanted Arsenal’s Eddie Nketiah. Wahi has struggled for relevance, as Roberto De Zerbi has often preferred to use him off the bench rather than from the start.
The report states that Marseille could allow him to leave on a loan deal if it comes with a mandatory purchase option. Arsenal are unlikely to insert an obligation to buy condition, as they are probably looking to fill the void for the time being, as a loan move would seem viable at this moment. They have sights on Alexander Isak, who seems destined to stay put at Newcastle United, as Wahi is not seen as a long-term option.
