ARSENAL fans are crying out for a new striker - but it is unlikely they will get their wish this month.
The problem is that they do not have much scope to do a big deal in this window unless they make a significant sale.
Like a few clubs, the Gunners have spent big in recent times and are having to be careful to stay within strict spending rules.
It will be a "must sell before we can buy" mandate in the window.
That does not mean they will do nothing because they are actively looking, and it may be that a defender is their No.1 priority, with a loan deal very much an option.
It is impossible to overstate just what a blow losing Jurrien Timber (right) was at the start of the season. Now Takehiro Tomiyasu has been out and will probably go to the Asian Cup with Japan.
