Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is pushing to sign a new striker this week.
Wenger has admitted he will try to sign a new striker before the transfer window shuts.
He said: "Quality-wise, no. But number-wise we are maybe a bit short.
"It will not be easy, though, because you do not find strikers who are good enough to play for us on the street."
Barcelona will let David Villa leave and is also interested in Fiorentina star Stevan Jovetic. Atletico Madrid's Adrian Lopez is a long-term target.
