Arsenal transfer news: Wenger to aid striker crisis by signing £43m duo in January, including Liverpool target

Arsenal transfer news - Wenger wants £43m strike pair.

There could be some exciting Arsenal transfer news for January as the Gunners plan to bring in two new players to solve their issues up front.

Arsene Wenger failed to address his centre-forward problem during the summer, missing out on big names like Real Madrid star Karim Benzema and PSG front-man Edinson Cavani.

Still, Arsenal now have two new targets to add some firepower to the club's attack, with a high-profile Liverpool target on the agenda...

1) Mauro Icardi (Inter Milan)

Valued at around £30m, reports today suggest Arsenal could try to sign Inter Milan striker Mauro Icardi ahead of the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea and Real Madrid. The Argentine scored 27 goals last season and looks a big upgrade on the likes of Olivier Giroud, Danny Welbeck and Theo Walcott.

2) Simone Zaza (Juventus)

Said to be worth around £13m, recent reports suggest Arsenal could also try to sign out-of-favour Juventus striker Simone Zaza, who impressed at previous club Sassuolo before struggling for games in Turin.
