Morning papers believe Arsenal will target the 35-year-old striker if they can’t secure the transfer of Draxler.

A move for Klose would be a short-term deal and would link the experienced German international with the various other Germans at the Emirates.

The Lazio striker is one of a number of names that have been linked with a move to Arsenal, another that was strongly speculated midway through the window was Dimitar Berbatov.

The Bulgarian has been linked with a move back to Tottenham but if we were to make a late move for him, there would be no doubt he would choose a title challenge and Champions League football over a top four battle.

Wenger has previously said Berbatov isn’t a target and there are suggestions inside the club that they wouldn’t want to bring someone with his attitude in, especially with the excellent spirit of the current squad.

However, with uncertainty over the Draxler deal maybe Wenger will be forced to move for either Klose or Berbatov.

We are all desperate for a striker to sign so who would be your first choice out of the pair?
