English Premier League side Arsenal<\/a> have been dealt a huge blow following Kai Havertz’s injury, and could return to sign Super Eagles forward before the end of the transfer window, Soccernet.ng reports.<\/strong><\/p>\n The Gunners’ need for a striker over the years has been apparent as they’ve been second-best in the English top-flight over the past three seasons.<\/p>\n Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus have led the lines for Mikel Arteta’s side in that time before they signed Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting Lisbon this summer.<\/p>\n The Record FA Cup Champions will have to reschedule their squad planner as Havertz has picked up an injury that’ll see him stay out of action for a while.<\/p>\n Get Our Sports News First \u2013\u00a0Join Our WhatsApp Channel Now!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n According to Sky Sports<\/a><\/strong>, the German midfielder has injured his knee and will be out for a while. Although the time is currently unknown, it’ll be revealed upon further assessment.<\/p>\n With Havertz out, the Gunners are caught in a dilemma and have to find a short-term replacement for the former Bayer 04 Leverkusen talisman.<\/p>\n As per Caught Offside<\/a><\/strong>, Arsenal are carefully monitoring the situation of Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman as they assess their attacking options in light of Havertz’s setback.<\/p>\n The 27-year-old has been on Arsenal\u2019s radar for a while, and with Havertz injured, discussions within the Gunners hierarchy have intensified over whether to make a move for the CAF Player of the Year before the transfer window slams shut.<\/p>\n Lookman, on the other hand, has been frozen out at Atalanta<\/a>, with his gaze fixated on a move to the San Siro. The ex-RB Leipzig man is keen on exiting Bergamo and attempted to force a move away from the club, skipping training and pre-season games<\/a>.<\/p>\n Atalanta declined all of Inter Milan’s offers, and Christian Chivu’s side have pulled out negotiations<\/a> with the 2024 UEFA Europa League winners for Lookman, leaving him stranded.<\/p>\n Mikel Arteta’s side are yet to submit a formal proposal, but Arsenal remain the only foreign club to have maintained contact with Lookman over the past few weeks.<\/p>\n The Gunners have been tracking his progress in Serie A<\/a>, where he has established himself as one of the league’s best attackers.<\/p>\n Havertz’s injury takes out two vital positions for Arsenal as the German operates as a false nine and an attacking midfielder.<\/p>\n On the left, Leandro Trossard is inconsistent, and Gabriel Martinelli has regressed massively, meaning an opportunity could open up for Lookman beyond the centre of the park.<\/p>\n While doubts over his playing time at the Emirates could arise, Lookman’s versatility sets him apart as he can operate optimally across several positions at the Frontline.<\/p>\n Additionally, the former Fulham<\/a> winger could have a point to prove after several unimpressive spells in England earlier in his career.<\/p>\n Without a doubt, the Nigerian walks into Mikel Arteta’s starting eleven, but it is currently unknown if the Gunners will make a bid in the coming days.<\/p>\n Atalanta are willing to part ways with the one-time UEFA Europa League winner for around 50m. In the meantime, Lookman is in recovery from a calf injury and is training alone.<\/p>\n![\"Soccer](\"https:\/\/soccernet.ng\/thumbor\/0qpOmJVlmITOJpbDfHaXi9Is2iI=\/1024x683\/smart\/https%3A%2F%2Fsoccernet.ng%2Fapp%2Fuploads%2F2025%2F03%2Fimago1059731883.jpg\")
