Mikel Arteta says Arsenal are open to bringing in a free agent to solve their injury crisis in attack. The Gunners are desperately short on attacking options after Gabriel Martinelli and Kai Havertz suffered hamstring injuries. Martinelli is due to be out of action for at least a month, while Havertz will miss the rest of the season.

Mikel Arteta has hinted Arsenal are considering signing a free agent in an effort to ease their mounting injury crisis. Kai Havertz ’s season-ending hamstring tear has left the Gunners without a recognised centre forward for the remainder of the campaign.

Mikel Arteta has not ruled out the possibility of Arsenal making a move to sign a free agent in an attempt to solve their striker injury problem.
