<\/p>\nArsenal lost more Premier League points against Chelsea, and as the January transfer window approaches, the Gunners will be questioning whether they can bolster their roster once more.<\/p>\n
With the support of the Gunners board, Mikel Arteta spent a lot of money in the summer to sign players like Riccardo Calafiori and Mikel Merino.<\/p>\n
But once again, they were unable to get a striker, and since Gabriel Jesus hasn\u2019t scored this season, they are being left quite vulnerable.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In fact, Micah Richards has once again stated that Arsenal is now suffering from a striker shortage and has advised them to buy a poacher.<\/p>\n
And Arsenal may be on the verge of doing just that, according to CaughtOffside.<\/p>\n
Mateo Retegui\u2019s January proposal is being considered by Arsenal.<\/p>\n
Mateo Retegui has been named on the list of possible January window alternatives that Arsenal is drafting, according to the CaughtOffside report.<\/p>\n
Retegui, 25, has scored a lot of goals for Atalanta this season and is quickly becoming one of Europe\u2019s most prolific attackers.<\/p>\n

Despite coming from South America, the attacker, who was born in Argentina, has already scored 11 goals for the Italian team and played for Italy 16 times.<\/p>\n
Retegui is reportedly being considered by Arsenal as a \u201cplan B\u201d alternative as they evaluate possible January deals.<\/p>\n
Although Kai Havertz has been the Gunners\u2019 main man up top, they have been missing a true number nine in several games, just like they did the previous season.<\/p>\n
Retegui is an Italian \u201cclinical\u201d striker.Since we\u2019ve seen a few strikers from Serie A fail over the years, there must be some prudence when it comes to them.<\/p>\n
Players like Gianluca Scamacca have not performed well, and players further back like Massimo Maccarone and Dani Osvaldo have also struggled.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, Retegui has received praise for his finishing and is obviously doing something well.<\/p>\n
This season, he leads Serie A in goals scored. An extremely well-timed, clinical, and icy finishing within the area. He rises high above centre-backs to offer Atalanta a lethal aerial threat, but also likes to come wide, taking full backs on and whipping in dangerous crosses,\u201d\u00a0Sports Gazette\u00a0recently wrote.<\/p>\n
In fact, Retegui might be Arsenal\u2019s guy if they really want a completely different option.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
