The Leicester man has turned down the Gunners to stay with the Premier League champions. But don’t worry Arsene, we’ve got you covered…

It's the elephant in Arsenal's room for fans with memories as short as the average Twitter user.

Not since summer 2012 have the Gunners signed what you might call a proper, out-and-out striker – and that was the man many fans now want to see replaced as the team's main hitman, Olivier Giroud.

Who might that be? Upvote all the candidates you'd like to see...
