Arsenal will be actively looking to make an attacking signing on transfer deadline day.
The Gunners have signed goalkeeper David Raya, defender Riccardo Calafiori and midfielder Mikel Merino.
Attacking position is the only one they have neglected so far in the transfer window but that could change soon.

However, according to The Independent, for a deal to materialise between the two London rivals, Chelsea would have to contribute to Sterling’s high wages.
The English winger has been linked with a move away from Chelsea since the start of the Premier League season when the player was omitted from the squad by Maresca.
The Chelsea manager then confirmed that the former Manchester City player is not in his plans at the club.
