​Arsenal given chance to sign PSG striker Mauro Icardi

Arsenal may have been given a chance to end their striker nightmare by signing Mauro Icardi from Paris Saint-Germain.

The Gunners are struggling for a reliable source of goals this term with the lacklustre form of veterans Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Lacazette is set to leave the club as a free agent next summer, while Aubameyang was left out of Saturday's win over Southampton due to a disciplinary.

But a replacement striker could be made available by PSG.

According to L'Eqiupe, the Ligue 1 are putting several expendable players on the transfer list in January.

Icardi may not be first choice at PSG, but he is still considered a top class centre-forward.

The 28-year-old is behind the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi in the pecking order at PSG.
