ARSENAL's desperation for more firepower was glaring in their FA Cup exit to Manchester United.
The Gunners produced 26 SHOTS in the third round tie but had just one goal to show for it as several players missed chances to win the match.
Striker Kai Havertz was guilty of missing the best two opportunities to win the game, and also saw his penalty saved in the shoot-out which proved decisive.
That has renewed talk that Arsenal need to sign a striker, with former forward Theo Walcott claiming things have gone a bit stale.
Walcott told BBC Sport: "It's like everyone else has said before. Arsenal need a striker at this time because it would have been a completely different story.
"Arsenal have gone from being a free-flowing forward line, exciting the crowd, to going a bit stale. You need players to do something differently and they haven't got that at the moment."
Arsenal dream of signing Alexander Isak from Newcastle, and were linked with a move three years ago before he joined the Magpies.
But the Swede is now hot property after proving himself as one of the best goalscorers in the Premier League, so the Gunners could be priced out of a move with Newcastle valuing him at a staggering £150MILLION.
That means Arsenal will realistically have to look elsewhere this window, and SunSport has taken a look at six targets that could genuinely make the move to the Emirates this month...
Viktor Gyokeres
Another Swede, Gyokeres would certainly fit the mould after blossoming at Sporting.
He made the step up from Championship Coventry seamlessly and has 75 goals in 80 games in Portugal.
Gyokeres, 26, scores all types of goals including free-kicks and penalties, and his pace and power could devastate Prem defences in a style akin to Erling Haaland.
However Gyokeres is attracting plenty of attention and has been linked with a move to Manchester United to re-unite with Ruben Amorim.
Marcus Rashford
After being dropped by Amorim the United star looks to be on the way out this month, possibly on loan although £40m could be enough to lure him away permanently.
The likes of AC Milan and Juventus have been linked, while some reports have claimed Arsenal have also made contact.
The Gunners could do with a goalscoring left winger as Gabriel Martinelli has just six goals this season, while a move for Rashford, 27, could revitalise his career.
Victor Osimhen
Osimhen has long been linked with a move to the Prem with one of Arsenal, Chelsea or United his likely destination.
He made a shock loan move to Galatasaray in the summer but a hefty bid could lead Napoli to recall the striker before selling him on.
The Gunners reportedly turned down the chance to sign Osimhen in the previous window as he was too expensive, but with 18 months left on his deal Arsenal could negotiate a lower price.
Osimhen, 26, has 13 goals in 17 games this season and could be the focal point Mikel Arteta needs to start winning trophies.
Benjamin Sesko
The RB Leipzig striker ruled himself out of a summer move but with his side out of the Champions League after a disastrous six defeats in six games, he may be more open to a transfer this month.
Arsenal are well-known admirers of Sesko, 21, who continues to show an eye for goal in Germany.
He has found the net 12 times in 24 games this term, including three goals in Europe, and has time on his side to develop into a world class talent.
At around £50m he is more affordable than the previous targets mentioned, although his price will likely rise if he continues his rich vein of form.
Randal Kolo Muani
Kolo Muani, 26, has failed to match his £76m price tag since joining Paris Saint-Germain but his ability to play across the front three is exactly what Arsenal need, particularly with Bukayo Saka out injured.
He has scored just two goals but he is understood to be available on loan this month, and Arteta may believe he can get the best out of the Frenchman.
His signing could also give the Gunners the chance to get one over on rivals Tottenham, who have also been linked to Kolo Muani this month.
Evan Ferguson
Arsenal are reportedly targeting the Brighton striker for a move this month.
He has been linked with a loan switch to Fulham or West Ham but Arsenal could splash the cash to sign him permanently.
Ferguson has stagnated this season in front of goal with injuries causing him to have a stop-start campaign.
But he has previously been compared to Harry Kane and at 20-years-old he still has plenty of time to develop into a Premier League goal machine.
