Arsenal have discussed moving for Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge before next week's transfer deadline.
The Daily Mail says having already been rejected by Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy, Arsenal continue to be frustrated in their search.
Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette has been of interest, but the club are unwilling to go anywhere near his £60m price tag. Likewise, Sturridge has his admirers at Arsenal, but his injury record is a concern.
Alexis Sanchez has played as a striker for the first two league games, but the experiment has hardly flourished.
