Arsenal search for a striker as Championship clubs seal deadline day deals

Arsenal had no problem scoring goals against champions Manchester City on Sunday in a stunning 5-1 rout but Mikel Arteta could still be in the market for a striker in the final hours before Monday’s transfer deadline.

The Gunners’ desire to add to their firepower has been one of the main stories throughout January and they could make a fresh bid for England striker Ollie Watkins after Aston Villa completed a loan deal for Marcus Rashford on Sunday night.

The PA news agency understands Villa have agreed to cover at least 75 per cent of Rashford’s £300,000-plus weekly wage and that figure could rise to 90 per cent depending on performances. Villa have also secured an option to buy in the summer.

Villa are also in the final stages of a move to bring in attacking midfielder Marco Asensio on loan from Paris St Germain and Arsenal could take that as a cue to go in again for Watkins, having already seen one bid rejected for the 29-year-old earlier in the week.

It remains to be seen if the convincing manner of Arsenal’s defeat of City, or the apparent injury suffered by Watkins at Wolves on Saturday, affects any thinking.

Arsenal, along with Manchester United, have also been linked with Bayern Munich’s Mathys Tel.

Rashford will play for Villa for the remainder of the season after making a loan switch from Manchester United.

The 27-year-old has fallen out of favour at Old Trafford since new manager Ruben Amorim took charge in November and not played any first-team football since December 12.
