For maybe the first time, Arsene Wenger declared he will most likely sign during the January transfer window. This is what he said:

Sometimes you think that is a bargain you cannot turn down and don’t forget Arshavin got us in the Champions League last season. Of course I would prefer the player who can play in both competitions and so it would mean the player has the quality to play in the long-term for Arsenal Football Club. But we have an interested eye on the transfer window and if the right player turns up then we will do it.

Below are some names who have been linked with a possible move to Arsenal as a replacement for Robin van Persie. I’m sure I missed a name or two, considering we are always linked with players, but of course you are free to add players in the comments section.

I am not including in the list the likes of Mario Balotelli and Ruud van Nistelrooy, two players who Arsene Wenger confirmed he will surely not sign, and Marouane Chamakh who is set to stay with Bordeaux.

In a way, it could turn out that none of these eight will join so consider this poll as a sort of game on who you would sign if you had the cash to spend, who you believe can fill Robin’s spot in attack.

Vote above and do leave a comment to explain your decision.
