Jonathan Calleri
As we saw in the summer transfer window, top quality striking reinforcements were a rare sought-after commodity with Manchester United infamously having to fork out £36 million on the relatively untried Anthony Martial who is turning out to be some player.
With this likely to be the case again in January where it is often even tougher to prise away the big names of European football, perhaps a left-field option might suit the Gunners.
Somebody in this category is Boca Juniors’ precocious young talent Jonathan Calleri who currently boasts a goalscoring record of 16 goals in 40 games in the Argentine top flight.
Back in September, Metro reported how Arsenal had joined the race for Calleri’s signature but if they are to sign the lesser-known talent, they’ll have to uncharacteristically move quick in the New Year due to even fresher reports claiming Chelsea are lining him up as a replacement for the below-par Radamel Falcao.

Don’t be daft! All Chelsea fans want to keep him. Anybody saying “replace” hates Chelsea.
