Mikel Arteta is willing to break Arsenals transfer budget in a bid to land a star striker to spearhead their Premier League title challenge next season.
Artetas side have now gone five years without a trophy as they approach the end of a frustrating campaign marred by injuries to key forwards Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus.
That trio, as well as influential midfielder Martin Odegaard, all missed substantial chunks of the season as Arsenal failed to keep pace with Premier League champions Liverpool before losing the Champions League semi-final against Paris Saint-Germain.
A new striker is top of Artetas wish-list with Havertz, who has not played for almost four months, still the clubs top scorer in the league with just nine goals.
Arsenal are believed to have at least 100 million 132 million at their disposal for new players and have been linked with RB Leipzigs Benjamin Sesko, Sporting Lisbons Viktor Gyokeres and Newcastles Alexander Isak.
