Arsenal’s failure to recruit the reinforcement in January sees the week after the injury was incurred by Kai Havertz at the end of the end of the season.
The German international tore up his knee tendon during the warm weather camp of the Gunners in Dubai and will fail for the rest of the campaign. The 25-year-old, who further exacerbates Mikel Areteta’s tireless fitness problems, has joined the striker Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka in the treatment room.
Since Havertz and Jesus do not return before the end of the 2024/25 season, Arsenal now has a crisis in his hands. You will not have Orthodox strikers available for the rest of the campaign, with Leandro Trossard, Raheem Sterling and Ethan Nwaneri currently available in the entire forward line.
With the winter window, arsenal will be forced to promote young people or to contact the Free Agent market to fix their problems. The latter could be a real option for the injury -tensed canon, which are unable to be picky about the emergency cover.
There are six Free Agent Forwards Arsenal here could sign to facilitate their suffering.
Wissam Ben Yedder raised a reputation as one of the most productive snipers in Ligue 1 during his magic in Monaco. In the 2018 times he achieved the principality before his contract expired last summer.
Since then, however, a two -year suspended prison sentence has been suspended after he was found guilty in November 2024 for sexual attacks. The signing of the 34-year-old would be an extremely controversial decision.
It is hard to believe that Maxi Gomez is at the age of 28 without a club, after the powerful Uruguayan striker – who has 32 national team appearances, was tipped for fame after an impressive stay at Celta Vigo.
He scored 30 goals with the Spanish team in two seasons before moving to Valencia, where his goals were significantly. Gomez found the net 23 times in three complete campaigns before moving to Trabzonspor in Turkey. At Cadiz, a one -year -old loan spell became unsuccessful in the last term when he was hidden in all 33 appearances for the club.
The fact that Gomez did not score a single goal last season is alarming, but the bulky striker could prove to be useful to supply Arsenal with a focal point.
Mariano Diaz was another tipper for great success in Spanish football after emerging from Real Madrid Castilla. After achieving 32 times in 44 appearances for the reserves, he was promoted to the senior squad and scored five goals in 14 games in 2016/17.
An immensely successful season followed in Lyon – the international of the Dominican Republic, 21 times – but he was never able to get a name for himself at Santiago Bernabeu when he returned to Madrid. Diaz finally left Sevilla permanently in 2023/24, where he did not achieve in just 13 appearances.
The 31-year-old has not had a club since then and would not be an inspiring addition to Arsenal supporters
Well, that would be delicious, isn’t it?
Diego Costa, formerly Chelsea Fame, has not been reached since the end of the last calendar year and represented Botafogo and Gremio in Brazil. Of course, he also returned to England with Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2022/23 and only achieved once in 25 excursions with the old gold.
Costas fiery nature and the impressive body always ensures that he is a handful of opposition’s defenders, but this is now a player who is hardly recognizable by his glorious days with Chelsea. He achieved some during his South American stay, but the ineffectiveness of the 36-year-old in Molineux speaks volumes.
Lucas Perez is a familiar name for Arsenal supporters. The Spaniard turned out briefly for the Gunners, played only 21 games and scored seven with the club in his year. A similarly short spell with West Ham United followed a return to Spain and finally Deportivo La Coruna – where he originally made his name.
The 36-year-old already played for the second Spaniard in January, scored four goals and delivered as many templates in the first half of 2024/25. However, he went for personal reasons at the beginning of the year.
Carlos Vela is another former Arsenal man. The 35-year-old made 59 appearances for the Gunners after he had arrived in North London at the beginning of his career as highly rated Mexico, but discovered his mojo with Real Sociedad in five years.
Vela left San Sebastian for the USA in 2018 when he came to LAFC in MLS. He thrown with the club and achieved 93 times for her in 188 appearances and played both as a wing player and as a striker during his time in North America.
However, a return to the Emirates stadium seems to be very unlikely.
