Arsenal supporters have been calling out for a striker signing for some time now and the Gunners manager finally seems to be listening to their calls as he is now believed to be brokering a deal for long-term Tottenham target Fernando Llorente.

The London outfit initially tracked down more prolific goal machines such as Karim Benzema and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang before their respective club declared that their marksmen would not be sold for any price.

They have eventually made their minds up to settle for compromise signings as they look to sign the £8.5million Juventus hitman to reinforce the strikeforce.

Olivier Giroud could then retain his tag as an automatic starter as the 30-year-old Spaniard can be thought to be no superior to the Frenchman.

The Italian club have decided to let the transfer of the former Athletic Bilbao man go through in the event of their valuation of the player being met as they look to fund a move for Schalke magician Julian Draxler.

Recent reports from the media suggest that his representatives have flown to London to discuss terms with Arsenal over a summer move, but then, the news outlets have no proper evidence for the very claim.
