If Arsene Wenger reads transfer stories online, and I can't help but think he definitely does, he'll either be getting annoyed or confused. Either he's annoyed that everyone keeps uncovering his next transfer move or confused because he's never bid for anyone, certainly not a striker.
Okay so the Frenchman might have bid for Jamie Vardy but other than that...
Because of Arsenal's failure to sign the Leicester hit man and the fact that Olivier Giroud floats somewhere between useless plank of wood and world's greatest targetman there keeps being a stream of strikers linked to the Emirates with no end product, a bit like Theo Walcott really.

Gazzetto dello Sport, who we thought were too busy with minute by minute Paul Pogba updates to care about anything else, are reporting that the latest striker who Wenger wants is Juventus striker Mario Mandzukic.
The Croatian striker, who failed to have that much of an impact at the Euros this summer, could find room at the Juventus Stadium limited following the Old Lady making Higuain the third most expensive player ever.
Max Allegri's side are apparently willing to let the former Atletico Madrid striker leave for £16.8m and Arsenal could face competition from fellow Londoners West Ham United.

Will Wenger ever sign a new striker?
