There is some doubt over Alexandre Lacazette's future at the club after the club reportedly tried to replace him during the summer transfer window.
The Gunners were heavily linked with a £34m move for Tammy Abraham before the England international left Chelsea to join Jose Mourinho at Roma.
Lacazette meanwhile has entered the final year of his contract and there is a strong possibility he could leave the club at the end of the season.
Mikel Arteta was keen to sign a striker and Fabrizio Romano on the Here We Go podcast stated they 'tried in every possible way' to sign Abraham.
