Arsenal have been keeping tabs on a few top-class centre-forwards, but for varied reasons, their pursuit of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Karim Benzema and Jackson Martinez did not come to fruition.

They were consequently tipped in to settle for a less prolific striker in Fernando Llorente, but Arsene Wenger seems to have other ideas.

Jose Callejon, since finding his escape route out of Estadio Bernabeu, has become an instrumental fixture in the Napoli lineup and can be expected to decide on his future with the Italian club in the days to come.

Chelsea are believed to be chasing his signature for some time now, but strong media suggestions claim that the Emirates Stadium club may have already tabled an offer for the Spanish international.

The London clubs are set to go head-to-head in the Community Shield, but it turns out that they will also be forced to enter a bidding war for the former Real Madrid outcast.

Theo Walcott has time and again expressed his desire to spearhead the lineup and given the rate at which he converts the chances, his manager may well give him a run as the centre-forward, which highlights the need for a winger replacement.

Jose Callejon, valued at £22million, could fit the bill given his heroics with Napoli as of late and even though he does not come close to be called a marquee signing, his capture could well turn out to be the final piece of the puzzle.
