Arsenal are in contact with Aston Villa for Jhon Duran amid uncertainty surrounding deals for Benjamin Sesko and Alexander Isak, according to a top source.
Arsenal are searching for a new centre-forward after Gabriel Jesus suffered an ACL injury which has ended his season early. Mikel Arteta does still have Kai Havertz in his squad, though the German is not the lethal goalscorer Arsenal need if they are to win major trophies.
Signing a top new striker in the winter window will be tough, particularly as the deadline is on Monday. But Arsenal will try to bolster Arteta’s forward line with a No 9 regardless.
Journalist Fabrizio Romano has revealed that contact has been made for Duran, who could be let go by Villa for the right price.
Arsenal have entered preliminary discussions for Duran as they are unsure whether they will be able to land RB Leipzig’s Sesko or Alexander Isak of Newcastle United in the near future.
