Arsenal are looking to bring in one of this season's finest strikers in the Premier League as they look to stay ahead in this season's title race.
According to The Daily Star, Arsene Wenger is a big fan of Watford's Troy Deeney, who is currently on a scoring run of six goals in his last 11 appearances.

However, the Frenchman is aware that Watford are highly unlikely to sell their captain, as well as his fellow striker, Odion Ighalo, who has netted 14 goals in 20 appearances this term.
But Wenger is in the market for a front man, and a ready-made option with Premier League experience would make Deeney an ideal candidate.
Deeney explained that Watford would be crazy to let Ighalo go for any sum of money.
"The value of selling Odion for, what would he be worth? £20m, £25m?" Deeney is quoted to say by The Daily Star.
"Or staying up and getting £200m? Simple business maths, he's not going to sell him."
