The Arsenal manager has alternated between Danny Welbeck and Olivier Giroud as the lead striker in recent weeks to mixed effect, with Wenger now ready to bring in a new frontman to help fire the north London side to the Premier League title.

 

Sturridge, 26, penned a new five-year deal at Anfield in 2014, but Liverpool could be prepared to sell the striker should the right offer come in.
